Crown Tang emperor

However, the penetration of Tubo into the Tang State is really not high, which makes Tubo have few choices in the process of confrontation with the Tang State, just like many people in the country now suspect that the Gar family has substantively colluded with the Tang State, and even has It is possible to directly seek refuge in Tang.But no one ever thought that those powerful and powerful families in the Tang Dynasty would have goodwill towards Tubo and might win them over.

Compared with the strength and ferocity of the Gar family, the reason why Webster was able to establish himself in the Tubo Kingdom was not because of his outstanding martial arts, but because he was good at dancing and able to coordinate various forces.

For example, when Tubo annexed Sun Bo in the Eastern Region in the early years, the Niang family, Webster's, Cai Bang's, and many other wealthy families in the Eastern Region, including the Gar family, contributed a lot. Being excluded from the core power, let alone the Gar family.

However, Webster was able to stand firmly in the center of power in Tubo. As early as Songtsan Gampo's period, after cutting off the Niang family and suppressing the uncle's family, he still chose to swear an alliance with Webster and make a promise of wealth.Even during the hegemony of the Gar family father and son, Webster was still immune to its influence.Now that Zanpu wants to get rid of the dictatorship of the Gar family, Webster is the most important force under his command.

And now that Tubo was drawn out in the Eastern Region, Tang State established Xikang, and vigorously developed bilateral trade, Webster is the largest business partner among the Tubo dignitaries who are doing business with Tang State.It can be seen that Webster's political stance is complex and changeable.

Therefore, whether it is due to the desire of personal relationship or the needs of the family and the country, Wei Gonglu hopes to meet Princess Ye Ali of Shangchizun. Only face-to-face communication can create more opportunities.

As for Wei Gonglu's thoughts, it was naturally not something that those attendants who could not reach the status could guess.

But even if this request for a meeting was not purely personal, after seeing Princess Chizun's crowded scene because she was about to marry a saint of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Gonglu still felt a little sad and lost in his heart.

Therefore, he was even more eager to meet the sage of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, and wanted to see what kind of person could make Ye Ali so obsessed with him.

In terms of power, he is naturally far behind and willing to bow down, but he knows in his heart that Ye Ali is naturally not a vulgar woman who succumbs to power easily, otherwise how could she be so determined to outrageously treason.

"Presumably he should be charming..."

Thinking about these sour miscellaneous things in his heart, Wei Gonglu walked into the Xikang King's residence under the guidance of the official envoy.

Chapter 0900 Fan country is strong, Princess Evergreen

The time is getting closer and closer to the date of officially entering the palace, and Ye Ali has been very busy these days.She doesn't have any relatives to help her in the capital, although Da Nei also sent many palace people to listen to the palace, but many things still have to be done by herself.

If it was another woman, she would more or less feel sorry for herself because of this lonely toil.But Ye Ali didn't feel too sad because of it. Compared with her early experience, these little deserted personnel are really nothing.What's more, at the end of this busy life, there is still a lifetime of happiness waiting for her.

But if there is no impact at all, that is not necessarily the case. The most intuitive manifestation is that despite being very busy these days, Ye Ali still tries to spare time to meet many guests from the Fan Kingdom.

Although the life in the foreign soil was very unhappy in the old years, and I hated those personnel and affairs in the country, but it is still difficult to completely erase the rural complex in people's hearts.Occasionally dreaming back at midnight, Ye Ali would also recall the blue sky of Tubo and the large clouds floating in the sky that seemed to be within reach.

She herself has few relatives, and her father was raped very early. Although her mother is still alive, the hatred between them is worse than that of strangers.The only younger brother still needs to stay in Xikang, so he cannot leave easily.

Although the appearance is stubborn and strong, but as a woman, she occasionally longs for family affection in her heart. When she is sad and weak, she hopes to have someone close to her to talk to and comfort her.

Especially before Yang's daughter entered the palace before her, she also went to Yang's square to congratulate her personally, seeing the people of the big family busy for this happy event, although she didn't say anything, she was still quite envious .

So no matter how busy she is these days, she still has to spare some time to meet those visitors from the foreign countries. She may never have met those guests, and there is no friendship with each other, but even if she just listens to the familiar dialect, It has comforted her.

It is precisely because of this mentality that although Ye Ali was annoyed at the fact that the Tubo envoy dared to use her marriage as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Datang, and directly expelled her from Beijing, but as good things came, the new Tubo envoy The envoy asked for a meeting several times, and his attitude was not lacking in earnestness. After some hesitation, Ye Ali finally agreed to meet the other party.

"I have drawn new designs for these ritual vessels. After the Secretary of Rites has checked them and found that they are not in violation of the regulations, I will make them as soon as possible and send them to the mansion."

After inspecting and modifying various wedding utensils, Ye Ali had just sat down when a family member reported that the envoy of Tubo had arrived at the mansion.She didn't answer right away, but rested at her desk for a while, and after a while, she curiously asked the people around her: "Whose family is the envoy to Beijing this time? If it's still Qu's dislike, just send him out of the mansion. Will never see their family again!"

Naturally, the Tubo Kingdom does not have a complete talent selection system like the Tang Dynasty. Those who can receive a good education and understand the situation of the Tang Kingdom are often members of the big clan.The envoy who offended Ye Ali last time was the Qu family from Tubo, which made her still envious even thinking about it.

The female general Sam who entered the Tang Dynasty with Ye Ali is now completely dressed like a Tang lady. Hearing the Queen's question, she couldn't help but sighed: "Your Highness has been too tired recently. I've said this a few times, but I still can't remember it. This time, the person from the middle school is Gonglu from the Wei family, and when His Highness lived in Luyuan earlier, this kid was also one of the frequent visitors."

"Who always cares about this kind of nonsense. As long as it's not the Qu family, it's fine. The Wei family has a nest of foxes, young and old. If you come to see me this time, you probably won't dare to speak loudly and provoke resentment. Go and invite people over."

Ye Ali twitched the corner of his mouth casually after hearing the words, and immediately waved his hand and said.

Wei Gonglu, who had been waiting in the outer hall for a while, was finally received, and he was naturally excited. After seeing Sam who was going to meet him, he couldn't help but take a deep look and sighed: "It seems to Tang Guoshuitu Compared with those in the country, it is more pleasant and healthy. I haven't seen him for a few years, and Sam's face is more radiant than in the old years, as if he has returned to his youth. I wonder if Her Royal Highness wants to be as glamorous as in previous years?"

Being praised so much by the middle school juniors he once knew, Sam couldn't help but smile, but immediately said with a straight face: "Since entering Tang Dynasty, without the persecution of those evil feelings in the middle school, our master and servant are of course very comfortable. But before meeting His Royal Highness, we must warn the men of Webster that the Tang family is dignified, and His Highness will enter the palace to serve the saints again. You must never use the old etiquette of the middle school to be abrupt. Accept etiquette!"

Hearing this, Wei Gonglu's shaggy face became tangled and lost again, he sighed and said: "The change of fate really hurts people, whether I was in the middle school in the old days or in the Tang Dynasty now, I always have admiration for Her Highness the Princess. Love. But now, am I not even qualified to praise my beauty?"

"Indeed, there are no more. In the past, when you were powerful in the country, your Highness refused to be perfunctory and laughed. Now it is no longer the age of being bullied by your big clan. It is a care for the people of the motherland to be willing to meet. From the past to the present , I don’t have a half-hearted relationship at all, so I greet each other and talk about the changes in customs in China. Other than these, other words are impolite!”

As Ye Ali's confidant, Sam has been following him all the year round, and naturally he doesn't have a good impression of these big family members in the country, so he still replied with a straight face.

"I understand, I understand! Her Royal Highness can live comfortably in a faraway country, and I am really happy for her. I am already excited to see me again, and I will never spoil this good mood on a festive day. "

After Wei Gonglu heard the words, he nodded repeatedly and said, and raised his hand to signal Sam to go first.

In the central hall of the king's mansion, Ye Ali sat on the table, servants stood on both sides, and there were officials waiting for orders in the side hall.When Wei Gonglu stepped into the hall, he searched impatiently, and finally landed on the beautiful figure in the hall. He stood still and remained in a daze for a while.

"Boy of the Wei family, I remember you! Are you provoking me by glaring at people like this?"

Ye Ali felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Wei Gonglu's scorching eyes, so she immediately lowered her face and said with a cold snort.

"No, no, how come... Her Royal Highness's voice is like yesterday, see you after a long time, let me recall the story, Her Highness was still living in Luyuan at that time..."

Hearing this desolate tone as in previous years, Wei Gonglu woke up from his daze, hurriedly made a point of Tubo etiquette, and at the same time couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness can be favored by time, but I am no longer the boy I used to be. Your Highness can still remember me..."

"I remember, of course I remember. In the past years, some of your boys often ran horses outside my deer park, disturbing people's peace. The others were chased and taught by my guards, but you slipped the fastest. One year, in order to intercept Let me down, I even specially made a big horned bow, planning to shoot you with one arrow if you come and run away again!"

At that time, Ye Ali was naturally tired of these middle school dandies who were showing off their power outside the deer garden, but looking back now, it can be regarded as a fun memory. When talking about these hateful murders in the past, his mood and tone were also different. Lost easily.

After Wei Gonglu heard this, his head was full of black lines, and he was not without fear. Ye Ali's daring, he has learned a lot, and felt that these words were intimidating. Thinking about how he was not shot outside the deer garden back then Killing is really luck.

But after a while, he said with great honor: "Back then there were so many young and strong families wandering outside the deer park. I was lucky enough to receive the special care of Her Royal Highness, and even made a big bow for me. If I knew that I must go to Luyuan again to see the matter, so that Her Royal Highness’s scheming will not be in vain. It’s a pity, it’s a pity that the family has arranged a marriage, and they will go to Shannan to meet their relatives soon, and they will stay for a few years before returning..."

Speaking of this, Wei Gonglu looked regretful again, full of sadness that he couldn't love and couldn't help himself.

Ye Ali couldn't understand Wei Gonglu's affection, and after hearing the words, he just laughed and said: "Throughout the country, you Webster's hands and feet are really long enough. Jiangbei and Shannan have never talked about relatives, but your family can cross the barrier of mountains and mountains. , Colluding with the Shannan family is really admirable!"

Shannan Yalong's old tribe was the founder of the Sitano family in Tubo, and he also had a deep pride. His family status was not inferior to those famous families in the Tang Dynasty. In their eyes, they are just a group of subjugated evils, and they look down upon them very much.However, the Wei family, as the representative of Jiangbei, was able to marry a woman from the rich Yalong family, which shows the strength of the Wei family's means of making connections.

The Wei family's slick demeanor is well known in the Tubo Kingdom, but in the martial arts atmosphere where Tubo unified the plateau and opened up to the outside world, it was naturally not very popular.Hearing Ye Ali's emotion at this time, Wei Gonglu was somewhat shy.

After gossiping with each other about past events, Ye Ali signaled Wei Gonglu to take a seat.After sitting down, Wei Gonglu said again: "A few days ago, when I traveled to the Eastern Region, I saw all the tenants, big and small, worshiping and praying to Her Highness the Princess. Now that I entered the Princess's courtyard, I saw that many travelers from our country came to pay their respects. Although Your Highness It is far abroad, but the Chinese people still care deeply, no matter inside or outside, this admiration is really touching!"

Wei Gonglu's words were not purely polite, but out of genuine feeling.There are always powerful people in the country, but even if you talk about Qinling, when it comes to the prestige and influence in the country today, it is still not as good as Ye Ali, who has been traitorous for several years and has lived in Chang'an for a long time.

Although this prestige influence cannot be equated with real power, but in some cases and in some aspects it is more useful than real power of soldiers and horses.

Webster doesn't brag about his victory with martial arts, so he has more feelings and thoughts in this regard. Why Ye Ali can do this has been discussed for a long time within his family, and he is not without envy.

Ye Ali smiled slightly after hearing the words, and continued: "Human nature is simple, and what I like and hate is clear. Everything I enjoy now is indeed much more precious than those evil thoughts that were entangled in profit in the past. The tribesmen of Xikang, the old Under the rule of the Hunzhu, there was no improvement in the living environment, and there was no moral conscience. But now because of the care of the Tang Dynasty, they can not only sell materials to them, but also preach the law, so I am grateful. As for the people who left the country These travelers have been hesitant and hard on their journey, since I have the spare power to be a local owner, I will not lose the love of the hometown if I take care of them.”

Speaking of this, her face darkened again, and she pointed at Wei Gonglu and said in a deep voice: "The poor people at home and abroad who are struggling to make ends meet know that I am friendly and caring for them. But many people in the country Great man, he has received a lot of favors from me, but he turned his head and refused to give me the same kindness! That villain of the Qu family earlier dared to say wildly that he would ruin my good relationship. Is it true that other disciples in power in the country They also have such thoughts, and they still want to hold me in order to extract more benefits?"

"This matter is indeed the sin of the former envoy! Her Royal Highness and the Emperor Tang, this was a decision made by Zanpu, the Queen Mother and other ministers a few years ago, and it is definitely not something that can be reversed by mere apostles. This time I am ordered Entering the Tang Dynasty is not only an apology to Her Royal Highness, but also a conveyance of Zanpu's wishes to the sages of the Tang Kingdom, and the middle school has no intention of repeating this matter."

After Wei Gonglu heard the words, he quickly stated his position, and then frowned and sighed: "Whether it is towards Her Royal Highness, or towards the Tang court, our country has always been full of kindness. Not to mention the current national marriage, even decades ago, The two sides have become the country of uncle and nephew, and they have always intended to repair it. Only the Gar's family used their own power to send troops, so they ruined this friendship.

Now that Zanpu is in charge of the country, he intends to overturn the old hostility and sanction the tough ministers of the Gar family. This is a good plan to restore the diplomatic relations between the two countries.However, today's Tang Dynasty has been negotiating with the Gar's family continuously, which inevitably makes the people in the country suspicious, and it is not known whether Datang has the sincerity of repairing.So right now there are a lot of discussions about the use of soldiers in the country..."

"Although I have been away from the country for a long time, I also grew up in that hometown. There is no need for pretentious words in front of me. Whether the diplomatic relations between the two countries are good or bad, it is not up to me as a woman to decide the influence. Today I call the old man to see, Let’s talk about the local conditions and customs of being far away, as for such words, I will leave it to the court and ask the sage.”

Ye Ali waved his hands when he heard this, indicating that he was not interested in this topic.

After Wei Gonglu's words were interrupted, he was silent for a while before sighing again: "His Royal Highness maintains her health calmly, and she doesn't want to worry about the hardships of human affairs. Naturally, I dare not say more. But regarding Her Royal Highness's own interests and situation, I would like to ask you Your Highness can allow me to elaborate, and I also hope that His Highness can live in this hometown forever and live a lifetime of prosperity and no worries."

Ye Ali showed some curiosity after hearing the words, and raised his hand to signal: "If you really have such intentions, then you might as well talk about it."

"The discussion of diplomatic relations between countries, and the discussion of power and power have never been completely based on personal considerations. Today, our country is indeed entangled in internal troubles, and our steps are slow. Therefore, the situation is weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty, and we must be humble and make friends. For example, before Sending off to His Royal Highness the princess, and giving away the false princess of the Eastern Region as a gift to the Tang Kingdom, I hope that the two sides can temporarily repair good things, so that our country can concentrate on rectifying internal troubles."

Wei Gonglu said in a deep voice: "The Tang State is recovering from a serious illness now, and external strategies are not limited to military power. It needs to rely on other strategies to maintain its overall stability, so there is a measure of using emotions from all sides. Your Royal Highness is a wise person. , and lived in Chang'an for a long time to observe the situation, this point must be clearer than me. Even if the Lord Tang accepts the marriage this time, is there any other plan besides love?"

After hearing this, Ye Ali frowned faintly, not as relaxed as before.

After Wei Gonglu saw this, he hurriedly continued: "People plan things, naturally, the more they plan, the more calm they will be. If you can't fish, you can catch it with the net, and if you can't catch the net, you can pick it up. In this situation, Your Royal Highness, either fishing or netting, The joy lies in taking advantage of the opportunity. But if the new network is compiled, can the old network be used as frequently as before?"

"Little fox of the Wei family, if you have anything to say, you may as well just say it! If you think I'm really free, I can listen to your fox tweeting here!"

When Ye Ali heard this, his expression became even more restless, and he knocked on the case and said angrily.

After Wei Gonglu saw this, he bowed his head and apologized, and then said: "Now Her Royal Highness is the old network controlled by the Tang State, and the newly welcomed Gar's family is the new network. The more natural tools, the better. But now the Gar family has been stubbornly excluded by the national conditions. Even if it is linked with Tang, it will do little harm to our country, but it will do more harm to Her Royal Highness!

From then on, Princess Jiwei was no longer needed by the Tang State to control our country online, but the Gar family could do more.The princess has been in the Tang Dynasty for several years, but the Tang Lord has never accepted it, but at this time he bestowed the marriage, the purpose is to trap Her Highness in a deep trap, and prevent the two weapons from being used together to cause imbalance..."

"In the current season, Her Royal Highness really doesn't need to enmity against people from our country! Back then, she was in the country, or she was persecuted by power, but now the princess is in the Tang country, and there is no enmity between each other. Although our country To show Tang a favor, it's not that he doesn't have the strength to fight, but he just doesn't want to fight at this time. Now that he has contacted Tang Guo for two personnel matters, Guozhong is naturally more willing to keep Her Royal Highness and get rid of the Gar family. It's just good for our country, and it can also strengthen the prestige of Her Highness the Princess in the Tang Kingdom!"

Speaking of this, Wei Gonglu was full of earnestness: "There has never been a blessing in the world to enjoy for nothing. Her Royal Highness, the princess, has traveled across the two countries, and she has seen it deeply. The Tang Dynasty is huge, and the entanglement of honor and disgrace around the king is bound to be more intense and profound. .Her Royal Highness can take advantage of the national economy to get close to the Emperor Tang, so why should she maintain this honor for a long time in the coming year?

Her Royal Highness is not a vulgar woman in the world, and the service of flesh and blood is just inferior. As long as our country can maintain the check and balance with Tang Kingdom for a long time, Her Highness Princess will never have a time to be left out in the cold in the court!As long as Tang Guotonggar's family is destroyed..."

"Shut up!"

Ye Ali finally couldn't help it, and shouted angrily.However, Wei Gonglu did not stop, but continued to speak loudly: "I do have selfish considerations when I say this, but I am more worried about Her Royal Highness! I hope that Your Highness will be prosperous in the Tang Kingdom... no matter where you are , Your Highness the Princess is my Tubo nobleman, only when the country is strong can your Highness be good and not be underestimated by others..."

Seeing that Wei Gonglu was still arguing with reason, Ye Ali smiled angrily, his livid face softened a little, and waited for Wei Gonglu to finish speaking before he said leisurely: "Wei's son really lives up to this bloody legacy." , I feel disturbed by just a few words. In fact, I also have a good plan for how to strengthen the country and fight against Tang for a long time. Would you like to listen to it?"

"Please speak, Your Highness Princess."

After Wei Gonglu heard the words, he was slightly astonished, and then replied with some expectation, hoping that Ye Ali could feel his earnest intentions.

"In the old days, the Fan Kingdom was able to compete with the Tang Dynasty and win consecutively because of the management and struggle of the Qinling sect. The current national strength has declined because of the incompatibility between the top and bottom, but not because of whether I, a woman, love my motherland. Zanpu, however, can show a little bit of generosity, kindly invite Da Lun Qinling back to the country, let go of the past, work together, why can't the country grow stronger again? Not to mention restoring the old national strength, even if the army plunders Longyou immediately, Do you think you should have such ambition?"

Ye Ali looked at Wei Gonglu and said jokingly.

"This, this...the national conditions do not allow it, why should Her Highness make such jokes..."

After listening to Ye Ali's speech, Wei Gonglu couldn't help but said with a look of disappointment.

"Ha, a country is brave. Talking freely is a big plan, and doing things is all about selfish desires. You are a bunch of waste, knowing that there is a good plan and not doing it, but you have traveled thousands of miles to shake your tongue and hurt the mood of a mere woman in my district who is happy to marry. , This is your great plan to seek the country? The Gar family assisted Siddhana to achieve hegemony for the first time, and it is not tolerated by the successors.

I, a woman who has abandoned her family and country, will receive your long-term care?With your little devilish words, you hurt my husband, whom I need to rely on all the year round, in exchange for a vague and vague care of the country?If I really believed in you, I wouldn't be in the Tang Kingdom now, having such a good fate! "

Ye Ali stood up from the table, looked down at the ugly Wei Gonglu, and continued: "Take a step back, even if I need external force to maintain my position in the Tang Palace, instead of admiring you capricious villains , It’s like talking about the harmony of Qinling’s family! His family is poor and looking forward to life, and it’s less variable than yours to work hard!”

"So, the Gar family really..."

Being speechless by Ye Ali's stern questioning, Wei Gonglu blushed for a while, but he quickly came to his senses and asked a question.

Upon hearing this question, Ye Ali returned to the original relaxed and comfortable state, just looked at the other party with a half-smile and said, "Guess."

Chapter 0901 Ban Hu monks, Tang law into Tibet

On the afternoon of the second day after meeting Song Bazi, Li Tong remembered that there was such a thing as an envoy from Tubo when the palace guards in Xikang Wang's residence played back.

At the same time, the speeches of the envoy of the Fan Kingdom in Xikang King's residence were naturally reported in detail by the palace servants.After Li Tong listened to it, he was quite upset. This foreign envoy dared to put eye drops on himself and poach him, so he asked again: "Who is this foreign envoy's name? What is his background in his country?"

When the palace servants reported Wei Gonglu's name, Li Tong sounded strange and lacked much memory.After all, the names of Tubo people are long and difficult to pronounce. Even though he has learned a lot about the situation in Tubo in recent years, there are very few people who can really remember and put the name in his mind as soon as he hears it.

Not to mention Wei Gonglu, a young man in the Tubo kingdom, even Li Tong couldn't remember the specific name of his country Zanpu.Even the Qinling brothers, when they talk about it in daily life, just call their Chinese names for short.As for other people, etc., they are all referred to by their official positions.

Although Li Tong didn't know much about Wei Gonglu, he also knew that after the collapse of the Gar family, the Wei family was another powerful family that rose up in the Tubo kingdom.Decades later, the Wei family will suffer a fate similar to that of the Gar family, and the people in power in the family will be suspected and harmed by Zanpu.

As for the manipulator of the anti-indirect scheme this time, it was Xiao Song, a repeated student from Yingyuan who won the exam not long ago.Following Xiao Song's success in separating Tubo's monarchs and ministers, and after the Webster family suffered heavy losses, Datang's initiative in the western front strategy was greatly enhanced, and a new round of counterattack and suppression against Tubo was officially launched, and the Nine Songs of the Yellow River were recovered successively. and the Chiling line of defense, and maintained this advantage until the eve of the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.

In the process of confrontation between Tang and Tibet, the next time the Tang Dynasty has the upper hand, it will have to wait until Wei Gao, who was so powerful in Sichuan and Shu during the Mid-Tang Dynasty, will be decades later.

Although these things that have never happened are not enough to determine the current strategy for negotiating and confronting Tubo, they still have great reference significance.For example, in the original history, in just a few decades, Datang used alienation tactics against Tubo twice, and they both succeeded. Are Tubo monarchs and ministers really stupid?Or do they just like fighting in the nest?

Of course it is impossible to be stupid. If even Lun Qinling is considered stupid, then who in the current world would dare to claim to be smart?Moreover, although Li Tong has never met Zanpu from Tubo, he grew up under the coercion of powerful officials, and not only could he keep his position, but he was even able to counter successfully in the end. Although there were various factors, But when it comes to personal tactics, it is conceivable that it is definitely not weak.

Not to mention Tubo Zanpu and Qinling, even the sons of Webster who went to Xikang King's Mansion to alienate Ye Ali this time and bewitch her to destroy the relationship between the court and the Gar's family cannot be said to be stupid.

After hearing what he said about Ye Ali, to be honest, even Li Tong felt that there was some truth to it.Dafan Ye Ali hadn't had a deep understanding of the coldness of the Tubo royal family, so he might have been bewitched by such rhetoric.

Li Tong was greatly relieved by Ye Ali's reply.It's just that he is in this position, and it is indeed really difficult to provide him with a sense of security that can be completely carefree. The confrontation with Tubo is a long-term strategy, and even he himself is not sure what will happen next. How will it change with the times, and will it have any bad influence on this lady.

It's just that Li Tong had to respond to being poached like this.Of course, it is inconvenient for him to directly punish the envoys of the Fan Kingdom, but if he wants to disgust people, he is not without means.

After pondering for a while, Li Tong ordered again: "Go and lead Ning Guogong into the palace."

Not long after, Wang Xiaojie, who was dressed in brocade armour, was led into the palace by the palace people, and sat obediently in the side seat, looking as if he had been handcuffed, without his usual publicity at all. vitality.

Seeing Wang Xiaojie's appearance, Li Tong asked knowingly with a smile: "Why is General Wang unhappy? Could it be that there are some problems between public and private that cannot be resolved?"

This is also a piece of nonsense, the reason why Wang Xiaojie can feel comfortable during this period of time is because Zhang Ren is willing to become a pilgrimage minister, and is in charge of the establishment of the Privy Council and related military affairs.

Although Wang Xiaojie now appears as the Duke of the State and serves as the commander of the Beijing camp, the highest military officer in Beijing, after the separation of the military and the government, the general prime ministers don't have to pay attention to it.But the problem is that the Privy Council is precisely the direct boss of Beijing Ying, and Zhang Renyuan has never been known for his grandeur.

Although the Privy Council itself did not have the power to directly command the troops of the Beijing camp, it was within its purview to review and summarize relevant military records. Zhang Renyuan summoned Wang Xiaojie to the office for questioning.Located in the newly established Privy Council on the west side of Shangshudu Province, Wang Xiaojie is trained like a third grandson every day, and has become a unique sight in the government office.

Hearing the sage's question at this time, the corners of Wang Xiaojie's mouth trembled, and then he grinned and said in a sad voice: "The troubles of the minister are not enough for the sage to listen to. But if the sage still loves and cares for this person, I implore A sage can use his ministers for other purposes, either as an official in the frontier, or as an official, or simply let him go to his mansion to lie idle, the minister, the minister is really... alas!"

Hearing Wang Xiaojie's laments, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh with emotion that it's really a bit of tofu in brine, and one thing is one thing. Wang Xiaojie, an official fan, is now actively asking for employment and even resigning from office. It can be seen that in the past period of time, Zhang Ren was willing to It was a hard blow to him.

These two people are not very likable guys, no matter which one is unlucky, Li Tong will always have a faint sense of evil joy in his heart.If it weren't for this summoning, he already had an idea, maybe he really wouldn't have transferred Wang Xiaojie to a job.

"The ministers of the general king's country are still strong in spring and autumn, and they are generous in their kindness. Why do you say that you are so disgusted with officials?"

Li Tong laughed casually, seeing that Wang Xiaojie's face collapsed again, as if he couldn't help complaining, then he turned his face serious, and then said: "It's just serving the country, and it's not just for the military. Today's state affairs Rejuvenation, envoys from all directions are constantly coming in, Dian Ke is getting busy day by day, and there is a need for a minister to sit in charge, is General Wang willing to take on this role?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaojie's originally sad face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, turned over and left the table like a black bear, and bowed in the hall. Without waiting for the sage to speak again, he started dancing again, nodding his head while dancing happily: "I am willing, I am willing! A sage is useful, so why would I dare to resign!"

"The general has been transferred from inside to outside, and the general and the minister. If it is only used as a division of Honghe, it will still be used narrowly. Today, the country supports internally, but it does not abandon external schemes. Among all the barbarians, only Tubo is the most evil and needs to be warned. Therefore, in addition to the Honglu Dianguo, the general will be given a foreign envoy to deal with the foreign guests, collect military aircraft, and report it to the Privy Council every ten days for military reference!"

Seeing this guy's innocent appearance, Li Tong then said with a smile.

After Wang Xiaojie heard this, the smile on his face froze immediately, and disappeared after a while. He endured and endured, but he couldn't hold back after all, and he said with some grievances: "The minister is shallow and straightforward, often because of the sage. Whether a word or a word is happy or sad, the sage of this temperament knows it all, so why do he play with it..."

Hearing Wang Xiaojie's resentful words, Li Tong felt a little embarrassed. He just put on a serious face and said: "The mission of Lifan is not a random one, but there is a need to adapt to the situation. Tubo has been arrogant for a long time. In previous years, There are frequent struggles, and there are no envoys. Although they are gradually easing up and the public and private exchanges continue, the mutual schemes are also profound. A special envoy is appointed to take charge of this side's personnel, and then the state affairs can be more targeted. Don't be fooled by accidents For the rest, I will not pay enough attention to this post!"

Seeing the sage's demeanor and tone becoming serious, Wang Xiaojie quickly corrected his attitude, bowed his head and said: "I am quite familiar with the situation in the former detainment of the foreign country, and I know very well why the sage chose this minister. Please rest assured, the sage If you are ordered, you should do your best, and you will never be disturbed by evil emotions and hinder your duties."
