Chapter 616: Wang Junkuo's head
Brut smiled, his expression very strange.
Then he said a name.
A name that shocked everyone.
"Wang Junkuo!"
As soon as Wang Junkuo's name came out, the ministers were surprised.
"Isn't he dead?"
"What's the matter with him?"
"Wang Junkuo helped the eldest grandson Wuji do some shady things!"
"That's right! He is in the hands of the Turks! ”
……
Seeing this, Li Chengqian said: "Wang Junkuo's head? ”
Li Chengqian guessed it, why? Because his head is also what Li Shimin wants, but now this head has long become a skull, right?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart, it is his people, I heard that Datang attaches great importance to this person's head, so I brought his head over this time to show respect! Moreover, this head is sealed by us, and the facial features are three-dimensional. ”
When Brutt's words came out, everyone understood what he was going to do, and it turned out that Wang Junkuo's head was used as a bargaining chip to negotiate. It's still preserved, that is, they originally wanted to use it as a threat, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes too quickly, and it became something else.
Li Shimin thought for a while.
Li Chengqian said: "It seems that a Wang Junkuo's head alone can't have enough chips, in other words, what use do we want his head?" It's nothing more than a deterrent education, he's not the most important! Nor is it something we particularly want! If you Khan are only bargaining chips with his head, go back! ”
Li Chengqian said it without falling, in the final analysis, he wanted to capture the past, in order to make Brut think that Wang Junkuo's head was not important, and the bargaining chips became lighter, thus making his negotiations more favorable.
To put it bluntly, it is to make his chips worthless, and then put forward new chips to talk about.
"But, I've heard you're very interested in his head!"
Brut is not simple, and it makes sense that Jieli Khan can send him.
Finally, Li Shimin also said:
"I really don't want to worry about Wang Junkuo's affairs anymore, in other words, he doesn't have this value! Do you understand? ”
Wang Junkuo, who is guilty of treason, really has no such value, his head is dispensable, and it is naturally the best to have it, but if he doesn't, forget it.
After such a period of time, if he hadn't been mentioned again, probably eighty percent of people would have forgotten his existence!
Li Chengqian didn't think so, since Brut brought it, he naturally wanted to stay, and it was basically impossible to bring it back.
Here is the Tang Dynasty, not the Turks.
Brut was depressed.
"This ......"
"Brunt, can you make a decision? If I can, I can talk to you! ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, let's talk to Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is the king, and your Jieli Khan is a minister, how can this minister talk to the king? This king is for Shang Shuling, but I can talk to you! ”
Li Chengqian said it without dropping, listening to Li Shimin's ears, it was very refreshing, judging from his performance, he had no intention of stopping it.
Brunt: This ......
"Hurry up, Your Majesty doesn't have time to wait for you, if you don't say it, please go back to Turkic! My Majesty the Tang Dynasty has a thousand dollars, it's not something you can waste! ”
Li Chengqian urged again, making people feel anxious.
At this time, the ministers unanimously did not have the slightest selfishness towards the outside world, even if it was Liu Hongji, he did not dare to be tough with Li Chengqian.
In front of the state, personal grievances are put aside.
At the same time, everyone looked at Li Chengqian and scolding Brute, and there was a trace of happiness. This is cooler than winning a battle!
It's been a long time since I've had this kind of fun.
"Good! This time, a certain brought Wang Junkuo......"
The messenger didn't want to give up yet, and said it again.
But halfway through speaking, he was interrupted by Li Chengqian.
"Wang Junkuo's head should be regarded as a knocking ceremony, not as a bargaining chip for negotiation!"
Li Chengqian is simply shameless, and his direct words made Debrut very speechless.
Don't wait for Brut to say anything.
Li Chengqian said again: "Come on, let's do it, if you want to talk about it, it's very simple, War Horse, let's reduce your profits again, okay, tell me, what do you want?" ”
Brut hasn't said anything yet, Li Chengqian just said two points, each of which is towards Datang.
Makes Brut a little skeptical about life.
Where is this negotiation, it is simply unilateral strength.
Before you even talk about it, you will be deducted from a profit?
Li Chengqian's words made Li Shimin laugh.
It's been a long time since I've been so happy, and in front of outsiders, I naturally have to be stronger.
"We ...... We want the Tang Dynasty to expand trade with our Turks for common prosperity! ”
When Brut spoke, he was a little stumbling, and sure enough, he was guessed correctly by Li Chengqian.
He said sharply: "It turns out that this is it, that simple. ”
"Really?"
"Of course, this king will not deceive people, if it is to expand trade, your war horses will also increase exports, and reduce the profits by three percent!"
This is clearly to be robbed!
Li Chengqian added chips step by step, making people speechless!
But so what? This time we must succeed, otherwise the head will be wasted!
Brut was already a little embarrassed, but in front of Li Chengqian's strength, there was also Cheng Biting Jin on the side, and he didn't dare to say it too absolutely.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid this is not good!"
"Not good? Do you know that the Tubo people also want our Datang to expand the wool trade with them, and we haven't agreed yet, the market in Datang is like this, so it depends on your performance. ”
Li Chengqian told a lie, he really didn't make a draft, and Tubo had not sent an envoy to come yet, and when he said this, it seemed like that.
Even Li Shimin couldn't help but give a thumbs up, this Li Chengqian's ability to fool is really strong, seeing that Brut is about to be fooled.
Then Li Chengqian said again: "I don't need to say it, you should understand that we are businessmen, and the conditions proposed by Tubo seem to be more satisfactory to us, do you know what I mean?" ”
"This ......"
Brut seemed to understand something.
"Would it be okay for someone to go back and discuss with the Khan?"
"Discuss? No, no, no, I won't, if you don't agree now, then we have to expand trade with Tibet! ”
In fact, it was against the expansion of trade with the Tuli Khan.
The ministers and others smiled heartily, they understood very well what Li Chengqian meant, Li Chengqian was just talking nonsense.
But who knows if it's true or not?
Brut hesitated, if he agreed, then it would not be good for the Turks.
If you don't agree, it's even worse for the Turks.
Brut fell into deep thought.
Until someone suddenly reported: "Newspaper! ”
