Chapter 1376 The court scuffle, the three envoys enter the court! (Add more to Ling's and sail's ten thousand rewards!) )
"Oh? Du Aiqing also thinks that I should send troops to attack Jieli? ”
Inside the Tai Chi Temple.
Du Ruhui came out of the crowd, Li Er's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile.
Li Erbi understands that Datang is not ready for a full-scale war with the Turks now, but it is one thing not to be prepared, and it is another thing to dare to fight, as long as a decision is made to fight, the entire Datang will act, and the speed of preparation for war will definitely be very fast!
Du Ruhui arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Lu Guogong said is reasonable, and Datang does not need to be honest with Jieli, because he will break the covenant sooner or later, and now that there is chaos in the Turkic country, it is a good time to raise troops to attack!" What's more, it has been a practice since ancient times to attack countries with civil strife, and Datang can't be afraid and miss the fighter because of the alliance~! ”
"Fang Mou Du Dudu" really lived up to its name, Du Ruhui had a vicious eye, and directly asserted that the original covenant was a piece of waste paper in the eyes of the Turks!
As soon as Du Ruhan's words fell, Cheng Yanjin suddenly said excitedly: "Hehe! Lao Du, I didn't see it before, I didn't find that you were also a hard bone, I didn't find that Lao Cheng was rare for you! Hey! Today, I apologize to you for my clumsiness, and wait for you to get better another day, and I will invite you to drink~! ”
This guy gently patted Du Ruhui's shoulder, looking very intimate, just like a good buddy who has been friends for many years.
The corners of Du Ruhui's mouth twitched slightly, and then he moved two steps to the side imperceptibly, keeping a "safe distance" from Cheng Yanjin, and then arched his hand expressionlessly: "Lu Guogong, the old man is just talking about things, and has nothing to do with personal relationships, please Lu Guogong respect himself!" ”
"Hey! Good! Good! Good! I am self-respecting! ”
Cheng Biting Jin was bored, so he had to touch his nose, laughed dryly, and stood back in place.
This is just a small episode.
At this time, seeing that Cheng was no longer making a fuss, Fang Xuanling came out of the crowd and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Keming said is reasonable, and now the Turkic civil strife is simply a godsend for my Tang Dynasty.
The Turkic foreigners have been watching my Central Plains for many years, and once they are ready, or if there is a civil strife in our Datang, they will definitely ignore the covenant and directly send troops to attack the Datang!
So, instead of waiting for Jieli to attack us, it is better to start organizing troops and attacking Jieli immediately! Now that I have a large number of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, there is enough food and grass, and I will be able to fight with Jieli after three to four months of careful preparation! Otherwise, when the Tuli Khan is destroyed and the Jieli family is dominant, then my Tang Dynasty will attack Jieli again, and I don't know how many more sons will die! ”
Li Er nodded, and just as he wanted to speak, Kong Yingda stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks this move is inappropriate!" The Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven and the state of etiquette, how can it make such a treacherous act? Even if Jieli secretly harbors evil intentions, as long as he doesn't take the initiative and doesn't violate the covenant, then we can't rush to send troops! Otherwise, where is the prestige of the imperial court? Where is Your Majesty's Majesty? Who else will believe my Datang promise in the future? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also arched his hand and said: "What Kong Sai Wine said is good! Since Datang is a country of gentlemen, it must have the style of gentlemen! If we send troops first this time, although we can win the initiative, we will also be spurned by the people of the world, at that time, the righteous army will become a godless army, and other neighboring countries will no longer believe in my Datang's promise, for Datang, the gains will outweigh the losses!
Furthermore, even if we don't attack the Turks now, we can secretly prepare, recruit good soldiers and horses, and hoard good grain and grass, and once the Turks tear up the alliance or make a move that violates the alliance, it is not too late for us to send troops to attack again! Even if Tuli is destroyed by then, then we are well prepared, and we may not suffer their losses~! ”
"Buzz~!"
"The minister seconded the proposal, Datang can't lose face! Your Majesty's monarchy cannot be lost! The imperial court can secretly mobilize troops and horses, but it must not take the initiative to tear up the covenant! ”
Xiao Yu, the head of the household, stepped forward and arched his hand.
"The ministers seconded the proposal~!"
Kong Yingda and Changsun Wuji said these two words, the civil and military officials in the court all woke up like a dream, and there were more and more officials who seconded the proposal, Cheng Yanjin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui seemed a little lonely and difficult to support for a while!
This has nothing to do with factional struggles, and there were basically no factional struggles in the court in the early Tang Dynasty, and the reason why these officials did not agree to the imperial court sending troops was not because they wanted to stand in the same camp as Changsun Wuji, but because what Changsun Wuji and Kong Yingda said made sense!
Great powers make promises! If Datang is untrustworthy, it will certainly be able to take a little advantage in the war against the Turks, but it will lose the prestige of the country, and this will not be made up for no matter how much it is compensated!
Li Zexuan, who was in the civilian camp, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene, although he was also the main battle faction, but he also had to admit that the eldest grandson Wuji had some truth to Kong Yingda, as a big country in the Central Plains, he naturally had to pay attention to the prestige of the country, and he couldn't change his orders and go back on his word, otherwise he would lose his prestige, and no country would believe in Datang anymore, then this loss would be really too big!
After all, although the Tang Dynasty is strong today, it is not strong enough to compete with the countries of the world and does not need any allies!
Li Er, who was sitting at the top, couldn't see the situation in the court at this moment, he knew that with the current situation, Datang would never be able to send troops to support Tuli, he frowned, muttered for a long time, and was about to open his mouth to announce that he would not send troops, when a guard ran in from outside the hall, bowed down and hugged his fists:
"Report~! Your Majesty, the envoy sent by the Khitan chieftain has arrived outside the palace gate! At the same time, the envoys of the Jieli Khan faction also arrived! ”
As soon as his voice fell, the civil and military officials in the court were suddenly a little confused!
"What? The Khitan and Jieli Khan sent envoys at the same time? ”
"What are they trying to do?"
"What do you want to do?"
A few quarters of an hour ago, Tuli's son and the envoy had just left the palace, but now the Khitan tribe under Tuli's jurisdiction and Tuli's nemesis, Jieli Khan, sent envoys at the same time!
The early dynasty of the Tang Dynasty has never been as lively as it is today!
In fact, it was not only the officials who were confused, Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also a little dazed at the moment, Lao Li closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and suddenly ordered: "Let the envoy of the Khitan Department come to see me first!" ”
"Whoa!"
The guards in front of the hall clenched their fists and promised, and then turned around and walked out of the Taiji Palace!
After a while, the guards led three Turks into the Taiji Palace, and when the three of them saw Li Er, they respectfully bowed to a Han person, led by a Khitan man, speaking a non-standard Chinese, and said loudly: "The Khitan Department of Khitan Qi Mi Liangwu has seen His Majesty the Tang Emperor!" ”
"Excuse me!"
Li Er waved his hand and asked directly: "What is the matter with the Khitan chief Pyer and others entering the Hajj?" ”
Qi Mi Liangwu bowed and said: "Back to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, Qi Mi Liangwu is here to represent the chief of our department to express allegiance to the Tang Dynasty, the chief has led his troops from Yunzhou to enter the Tang Dynasty a few days ago, and now he is rushing towards Chang'an City, hoping that His Majesty can take in the Khitan Ministry, and the Khitan Ministry is willing to swear allegiance to His Majesty~!" ”
After the Turki Khan, the Khitan Department of the Eastern Turks was also going to surrender to the Tang Dynasty?
Everyone in the hall widened their eyes and secretly exclaimed incredible!
In one day, the two major forces of the Eastern Turks were about to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks were really divided to such a point now?
Li Er was not carried away by joy, his eyes sank, and he asked: "The Khitan tribe is also a tribe with good strength among the Eastern Turkic tribes, this is good, why do you Khitan chiefs lead their people to surrender to my Tang Dynasty?" ”
Qi Mi Liangwu hurriedly said: "Back to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan Department was originally under the jurisdiction of the Tuli Khan, but since the beginning of this year, the contradiction between the Jieli Khan and the Tuli Khan has deepened day by day, and recently it has been a sword and soldier, and the Jieli Khan ordered our department to attack the Tuli Khan, but my Khitan chieftain has received the great favor of the Shibi Khan, how can I hurt his descendants?" Therefore, the chieftain of my department did not obey the order, but it was inevitable that Jieli Khan would send troops to retaliate, and in the end he could only bring all his troops and come to surrender to the Tang Dynasty! I beg Your Majesty to contain the Khitan Department~! ”
"Buzz~!"
Everyone in the court was full of surprises!
The strength of the Khitan Department is not bad, their chieftain can lead the people and take the initiative to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, which not only weakens the strength of the Eastern Turks, but also enhances the strength of the Tang Dynasty in disguise, encountering this kind of good thing, it can only be said that God blesses the Tang Dynasty~!
"I see~!"
Li Er knew in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he sighed: "The chief of the Erbu is also a person of affection and righteousness, since Jieli can't tolerate you, then I, as the son of the Tang Dynasty, welcome you to surrender to my Datang!" I will be able to send soldiers and horses to pick up the chiefs of the Yinger Division~! ”
No one objected to Li Er's decision, after all, the surrender army sent to the door should not be in vain!
Qi Mi Liangwu said with a happy face: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Er nodded contentedly and said, "Wait for a long journey, let's go back to the post house to rest first!" I'll send someone to meet your chieftain at once!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Qi Mi Liangwu retired~! ”
Qi Mi Liang bowed, and then pushed out the main hall.
Li Er's eyes narrowed, and he commanded: "The messenger of Jie Li is coming into the hall!" ”
"Spread the message of Jieli Khan to make an audience~!"
"Spread the message of Jieli Khan to make an audience~!"
The eunuch passed Li Er's will out one by one, and after a while, a sturdy Turkic man, with two Turkic people of medium stature, walked into the main hall.
Before the Turkic man could declare his identity, Li Er, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but exclaim: "It's you?" ”
