In the past few days, Chang'an City has looked no different from peace, but this is just what the people see in their eyes, and for the ministers of the court, there is a trace of uneasiness and anxiety hidden under this calm.

The prince's accident made everyone's psychology very depressed, Comrade Li Er originally planned to deal with it in a low-key manner at the beginning, and controlled the matter within a very small range, but the prince's identity was too special, and it was impossible to hide this matter for a long time.

For a while, all the ministers of the court knew about this matter, and various theories arose, and with the understanding of the prince of the court, the ministers of the court and the central government knew that this matter would not be so simple, but because this was an internal matter of the royal family, it was not easy to put it on the surface, so they could only discuss it under the 'private' and guess what the cause was.

However, for this matter, the ministers are still in wait-and-see, wanting to see what Comrade Li Er will do, after all, everyone knows that it is unrealistic to restore the original state after this broken foot, if it really becomes a lame, then Comrade Li Er will be succeeded to the throne by the crown prince a hundred years later, and he will become the first emperor with a disease in history.

As time passed, the ministers did not see the slightest movement of Comrade Li Er, and gradually understood that Comrade Li Er did not abolish the prince's intentions, although they all had different thoughts in their hearts, but because of their own identity, no one dared to say it easily, but their moods began to be depressed to varying degrees.

Wang Ke knows that now Comrade Li Er has not lost the last bit of patience for the prince, but this day will come sooner or later, for him, there is no need to worry about the prince now, because the prince's incident this time will become an introduction, as long as he does a few more things that annoy Comrade Li Er, then he will not be able to stay in the prince's seat for a long time.

Now what Wang Ke hopes for most is that Li Ke can perfectly complete the task of this negotiation. At that time, when Li Ke returns to Chang'an, he will become a hero in the eyes of the ministers, and his weight in Comrade Li Er's heart will be much heavier.

On this day, in front of the main hall, the courtiers who are scattered in various ministries and departments on weekdays have gathered here, and even Wang Ke, who has always gotten up very late, also came here early, today is the day when Li Ke completes the negotiation and returns to Beijing to report to Comrade Li Er, for the Tang Empire, it is also the first time that the Tang army has been able to enter a non-national territory through non-military means such as negotiations, and it will be a milestone day in the Tang Empire.

Comrade Li Er was also happy in his heart, so he asked the ministers of the DPRK and China to come to the main hall early in the morning, and he wanted these ministers to spend this wonderful moment with him.

With the voice of the eunuch outside the 'door' of the palace, "The emperor has arrived!" "All the ministers rushed in, the civil and military officials stood left and right, knelt down and saluted to Comrade Li Er, who was sitting on the high platform and on the dragon chair, and stood up after Comrade Li Er's order, and their eyes looked at Li Ke, who was standing outside the 'door' of the hall at this time, waiting for Comrade Li Er's summons.

Comrade Li Er sat on the dragon chair, his eyes crossed the heads of the ministers, fell on Li Ke's body, and said softly: "Chuan Ke will see you." ”

Yang Gonggong on the side hurriedly sang loudly, Li Ke walked into the hall in Yang Gonggong's loud singing, knelt down to Comrade Li Er and saluted: "Son-in-law Li Ke, in the name of his father, went to negotiate with Tuyuhun, it is now over, and I hereby 'hand' give orders to my father!" ”

Comrade Li Er said with a smile in his eyes: "Ke'er is flat, tell me and Zhongqing about this trip." ”

Li Ke stood up and saluted Comrade Li Er and the ministers of the palace before saying: "Although the negotiation with Tuyuhun took a long time, it achieved very good results. This is also due to the result of the emperor's and the gentlemen's 'fine' planning. ”

Li Ke has now learned Wang Ke's set, but before saying anything, he will first give Comrade Li Er a sycophant. Although Li Ke knew that he was the son of Comrade Li Er, and the effect of saying it was not necessarily as good as Wang Ke's, it was much better than not saying it, at least it made Comrade Li Er's impression of himself much better.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Ke like this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he said in a cheerful tone: "Ke sent Tuguhun to Tuguhun this time, and he was able to deal with it on the spot, and fight for the interests of my Datang, which is really a great credit, and after the matter is finished, I will have a heavy reward!" ”

Li Ke hurriedly thanked him, and then explained in detail how he did it this time. Although the ministers of the DPRK and China also knew some of the process from the daily delivery of the newspaper, no one had seen it completely, and now when they heard Li Ke's words, they knew the detailed process of this matter, and they all listened to it with relish, and from time to time they let out one exclamation after another.

At this time, Comrade Li Er also heard about this for the first time, originally when Li Ke returned to Chang'an yesterday, Comrade Li Er wanted to ask Li Ke to enter the palace and talk to him first, but he thought that he would call Minister Qi to listen to the lecture today, so he pressed his eagerness and did not do so.

After Li Ke finished speaking, Comrade Li Er leaned back and said easily: "Ke and listen to the treaties signed this time one by one, so that everyone knows how big my Datang's victory is this time!" ”

Li Ke arched his hand to Comrade Li Er and said, "Obey the holy order of my father!" ”

Li Ke took the copy of the contract sent by Yang Gonggong, opened it and read it one by one. The ministers of the DPRK and China have never seen this treaty, and even the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others who can pass every piece of the treaty on weekdays, because after Li Ke arrived yesterday, Comrade Li Er directly sent someone to send the letter that Li Ke had already written into the palace, and it was not delivered up level by level according to the normal procedure, so this is the reason why the copy of this treaty was taken out by Yang Gonggong today.

The previous clause did not attract much attention from all the ministers present, because for this negotiation, these people already knew what was going on, and now they heard that Tuyuhun agreed to the Tang Empire's troops to enter Tuyuhun territory to assist Tuyuhun in his defense, including the number of troops, the place where they were stationed, and how often to change the guard. Excited, because in the eyes of these people, this is a very normal thing, what Datang wants is this thing, if the goal is not achieved, it cannot be called the completion of the original plan, but the more they listen, the more frightened the ministers become, they did not expect that this Li Ke actually reaped so many benefits on the basis of the original plan.

I only heard Li Ke read: "During the period when all the Tang troops were stationed in Tuyuhun and assisted Tuyuhun in preparing for Tubo, all the expenses of the Tang army were provided by Tuyuhun. In addition to the normal expenses of the Tang army, the maintenance of its barracks and all expenses during the replacement period are also included. ”

At this time, all the ministers realized that this was actually the Tang Dynasty only needed to send people, and all other expenses did not need to be considered, if Tuyuhun did not provide it to the Tang army within the specified time, the Tang army could also carry out the expropriation work on its own as in its own country, which invisibly treated Tuyuhun as a province of the Tang Empire.

At this time, there was an exclamation in the court, and no one thought that this fledgling Li Ke could make such an amazing move.

Comrade Li Er also had long expected the ministers' move, and after making the ministers sigh for a while, he said: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not too late to discuss after you finish your thoughts." ”

Hearing Comrade Li Er's words, everyone reacted, this is not over, there are still good things to come, it seems that this negotiation, Datang has gained a lot of benefits! Everyone immediately stopped talking, and Wang Ke and Li Ke, whose eyes were hooked, saw what he hadn't said. At this time, Wang Ke was also a little stunned, he also didn't expect that this Li Ke would have such skills and get so many benefits. He is also eager to know how much benefit this negotiation has brought to Datang.

Li Ke saw that everyone stopped talking, so he opened his mouth again: "This operation of the Datang army is purely to maintain the safety of Tuyuhun, and with the consent of both parties, in order to make up for the losses of the Datang army, Tuyuhun will give Datang five million taels of silver or materials of the same value every year to compensate after the Datang army is stationed. ”

As soon as this clause came out of Li Ke's mouth, all the ministers were stunned, is this Tuguhun stupid or what's wrong, they are already responsible for all the expenses when the Tang army is stationed, and now they have to pay money every year. This kind of good thing can actually be encountered, it is really sudden that happiness comes too suddenly! The current ministers are not talking, it's not that they don't want to speak, but they don't know what to say, and when they see that Li Ke seems to have not finished reading the terms, it will be even more impossible to speak, because from the current situation, the more this will go on, the more scary the terms will be.

There was no need for Comrade Li Er to remind him again, Li Ke read directly: "If Tuyuhun encounters the invasion of Tubo, Tuyuhun asks for assistance from the Tang army, and all the Tuyuhun troops will unconditionally accept the control of the Tang army and be dispatched by the Tang Dynasty." After the end of the war, the officers and soldiers who were killed and wounded by the Tang army were provided by the Tang Dynasty, and Tuyuhun was compensated and compensated. ”

This article is also quite scary, once the war starts, Tuyuhun has to resist by himself, if you want to ask for help from the Tang garrison, it is equivalent to the entire Tuyuhun 'handed' into the hands of Datang, and after the war, you have to compensate Datang for the war. If Datang is not authentic, come to some 'yin', and report some more names when providing the roster, Tuyuhun will not be able to ask for inspection, so he can only suffer this dumb loss.

Now the ministers present are already a little numb, after the surprise just now, for the terms that Li Ke read out, the ministers just listened to them, waiting to see what more incredible terms Li Ke could say.

Li Ke looked at Comrade Li Er, who was leaning on the back of his chair very much, and read out the last article aloud: "Since Tuyuhun cannot absolutely control the territory under its jurisdiction, it has been decided to cede 150,000 mu of land in the northwest of the territory to Datang, and Datang will take over the area after the army is stationed in Tuyuhun. ”

Now the faces of some of the ministers present have changed, this is incredible, they actually got such a large piece of land, the last time they destroyed the Eastern Turks, the Tang Dynasty dispatched more than 100,000 troops, and many people were killed and wounded, although the land was larger than this one, but it was exchanged for human lives, this time it was just talking, there were no casualties or casualties.

Comrade Li Er already knew the result yesterday, and now when he saw the reaction of the ministers, he was very happy, and said triumphantly: "What do you think? ”

What else can you think, now all the ministers have been shocked by the paper treaty signed back by Li Ke, and they can't say more in their hearts.

Wang Ke now has only one thought in his heart: "Unequal treaty!" This is nothing but an unequal treaty! ”

However, Wang Ke did not grieve that this was an unequal treaty, because this was the first time he knew that his country had put humiliation above the heads of others. In his memory, only more than a thousand years later, countries have given humiliation to their own people, and he has never seen his own country so arbitrarily put itself above the suffering of others. This can only be done by a strong country, and it must be strong enough for all to look up to, so simple.
