Chapter 83: The Crisis of the Datang International System
King Jiangxia is crazy!
Seeing that Li Daozong's face did not change and he was talking nonsense seriously, this was the first reaction of the Tang Dynasty ministers.
The Khitan, the Yan and the Xi are clearly the Tang Dynasty vassals, and they pay tribute from time to time to ask for canonization and rewards.
How could he dare to ignore the facts and openly claim that the Gang was a vassal of Goguryeo?
This is a serious diplomatic incident, Li Tai asked Beji Changxing to kneel down is to seize the moral high point, coupled with the deterrence of the Tang Dynasty's prestige, Beji Changxing dare not disobey.
Li Daozong, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, kept excluding the Yan Ya from the Tang Dynasty, which was not only a denial of the Tang Liaodong Sect and vassal system, but also a denial of the Honglu Temple's record of the Yan Ya's tribute and courtiers.
It's finally here!
Quan Wensheng and Gao Yuqi were shocked, and they had been wary of Li Tai taking advantage of the topic to burn this wildfire to Goguryeo.
Although it has been deduced several times, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to have actual evidence to prove the actual suzerain-vassal relationship between the Yan and Goguryeo.
On the contrary, it is the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the Honglu Temple or the Ministry of Rites, for the records of the Tang Dynasty as a tribute, there is no doubt about it.
Gao Yuqi looked at Li Daozong thoughtfully, and then at Li Tai, but finally didn't say a word.
Li Tai nodded at Gao Yuqi again, Gao Yuqi frowned, he could feel the kindness and meaning of Li Tai's gaze.
What is the reason for this, Gao Yuqi's brows furrowed even deeper.
After Kunlun rescued Li Tai that day, Li Tai did not send anyone to express his gratitude, and his own visit was also politely rejected by the disciples of the Wei Wangfu.
He couldn't figure it out, so he could only choose to wait and see what happened.
Quan Wensheng's heart beat like thunder.
Li Daozong took a big bite of the black cauldron, as a vassal of the vassal country to rob the suzerain, this cauldron was big enough to crush Goguryeo to death.
Although it is a fact, but there is no evidence, the king of Jiangxia slandered and bitten people "for no reason", and Goguryeo naturally would not agree.
I thought that Gao Yuqi would fight back angrily, but this Goguryeo shame turned out to be eye-catching with Li Taimei, which made Quan Wensheng angry, and then felt deeply frightened like falling into the abyss.
Gao Yuqi and Li Tai......
Quan Wensheng thought of something, and now that Gao Yuqi was silent, he gritted his teeth and decided to stop Li Daozong's mad dog from continuing to talk nonsense.
The net compiled by the Tang Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and God knows what other good dishes will greet Goguryeo, and he has a hunch that Li Daozong's goal will not be as simple as it seems.
Beji Changxing is also undead, and the Khitan and Xi people are also uncomfortable.
As a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, it is not a joke to receive it privately with Goguryeo, and under Li Tai's new diplomatic policy, God knows how the Tang Dynasty will react.
"Li Daozong!
Are you crazy?
Since Zhenguan entered the Tang Dynasty in the fifth year, he has never slackened off in his annual tribute ceremonies, and I have never heard of his secret communication with Goguryeo!
As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you should pay tribute to foreign vassals like a treasure, why do you talk about it today? ”
Without waiting for Beji Changxing and Quan Wensheng to complain, Li Shimin was already furious and reprimanded Li Daozong.
This made the two of them feel a little calm, and the Tang Emperor refuted Li Daozong so clearly, perhaps it was Li Daozong's move to curry favor with Li Tai.
"My father is happy and angry, Uncle Wang has been calm and trustworthy all his life, since he has said in public that he privately believes that Goguryeo is the master, he must have real evidence and ironclad evidence.
And when Uncle Wang is exhausted, it is not too late for his father to make a decision, if Uncle Wang is open to state affairs as a child's play, the sons and daughters also agree with their father to punish Uncle Wang severely. ”
Li Shimin glared at Li Daozong fiercely, looked at Li Tai angrily, and said word by word: "I will listen to you."
If your uncle Wang can't say that he is ugly, I will punish you both together! ”
Lao Li seemed to make Li Daozong's words angry, and even scolded Li Tai in public.
"Erchen is willing to guarantee the emperor's uncle!"
Li Tai extinguished the emperor's thunderous anger in time, and made a big wish to advance and retreat with Li Daozong, which made Quan Wensheng and the others have nothing to say.
"Hmph, diplomatic relations are important, what kind of system is it announced in public?
The people and courtiers were dispersed, and the important ministers of the three provinces, the six ministries and the envoys of the three feudal domains followed me into the Xuanzheng Palace! ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned back to Daming Palace first, and the Xuanzheng Hall was behind Hanyuan Palace, and the distance was very touching.
The emperor and courtiers gradually dispersed, and the people cheered and saluted the Supreme.
As Li Tai said, no one forced the people who came here, but Jingzhao Mansion arranged for Chang'an and Wannian counties overnight to tell them about the murder of Beji Huishu in accordance with his instructions.
Then he appealed to the men who are willing to uphold justice for Yang San and show their enthusiasm for the Tang Dynasty, as far as they can go straight to Suzaku Street, the court will never forcibly recruit a person, and the people who dare to come today are more courageous and bloody than ordinary people.
In the fanatical eyes of the people, Li Tai arranged for Jingzhao Mansion to arrange people to protect Yang San in case someone used him to continue to make trouble.
After doing the follow-up finishing work, Li Tai caught up with Li Shimin and his entourage, walked side by side with Gao Yuqi, and under the cold eyes of Quan Wensheng, Li Tai took the initiative to talk with Gao Yuqi cordially.
Enter the Xuanzheng Palace must pass the Hanyuan Palace, the base of the Hanyuan Palace is one zhang, and the whole hall is four zhang higher than the flat ground.
Han Yuan Hall leans against the blue sky, tall and majestic, breathtaking.
In front of the main hall, there are three "dragon tail road" royal steps, which are the steps from the ground to the main hall.
Longwei Road is divided into three layers, there are bluestone railings on both sides, the upper railing is engraved with a claw head pattern, the middle and lower railings are engraved with lotus patterns, and there are various stone carvings on the railings with the heads of mythical beasts.
When they first came to Hanyuan Palace, Quan Wensheng and Gao Yuqi were amazed by the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and the majestic beauty of the utensils and buildings, but they sneered at the Tang Dynasty's labor and wealth.
Now, when he returned to Hanyuan Palace, he witnessed the tragic encounter of the square incident, and Quan Wensheng was in awe of the Tang Dynasty for the first time.
Now that Goguryeo has also been bitten by the huge mouth of the Tang Dynasty, Quan Wensheng looks at the majestic Hanyuan Hall again, but it is like stepping into the Yama Palace.
The main hall that rises from the ground is several feet high, like a ghost gate that eats people and does not spit out bones.
At the end of the dragon's tail, the huge headless bull still stands, and Li Shimin ordered to keep this unique bull forever to show Li Tai's heroism.
Quan Wensheng looked at the bullfight and Li Tai's back in front of him, and felt that he was a huge bullfight, and Li Tai had already waved the elusive butcher's knife again.
"The camera acts, don't let Li Tai break it separately!" Quan Wensheng approached without a trace, and reminded Beji Changxing softly and sternly.
Beji Changxing was expressionless and did not say a word, and there was both disdain and worry in his eyes.
……
After the courtiers below the third rank dispersed, the nobles of the three grades who did not receive the real difference also consciously left.
Those who came to the Xuanzheng Hall were left with only the chief officials of the six departments of the three provinces and the Dali Temple, the Honglu Temple, and the Taichang Temple, as well as the envoys of the Goguryeo, Khitan, Jian, Xi, and Murowei departments.
Li Shimin stood high on the dragon throne and said angrily: "Li Daozong, now you have everything you can say."
I will give you a cup of tea, and if you can't prove that you secretly recognize Goguryeo as the suzerain, the ministers will definitely punish you severely and make an example! ”
Li Daozong said solemnly: "How dare the ministers of the state involved talk nonsense, whether the Yan Ya and Goguryeo secretly communicate with each other, the ministers...... It's got its own measure.
Beji Changxing, the old man asked you a word.
In the ninth year of Zhenguan, did the Ersu Mo Jin Yabu offer three heads of jade claws to Goguryeo, one tail of a white ox, nine heads of green wolves, and the blood of the alliance to honor Goguryeo? ”
"Wow"
The important ministers of the Tang Dynasty were in an uproar when they heard this, if this matter is true, this is a secret conspiracy between Su Mo and Goguryeo to jointly challenge the tributary system dominated by the Tang Dynasty, which is a hundred times more serious than the murder of Beji Huishu on the street!
Li Shimin changed color violently, and his face full of anger towards Li Daozong turned into a monstrous anger towards Goguryeo and the Yakuza Sect.
Beji Changxing's face turned pale, and the matter of Su's surrender to Goguryeo was secret, how could the Tang Dynasty court know about it?
Quan Wensheng also looked embarrassed, the nature of the matter is very serious, if it is confirmed, it will prove that Goguryeo, to be precise, Quan Gai Suwen and the Tang Dynasty Tiger Mouth robbed the feudal clan of the crime.
Gao Yuqi's face was delicate, this matter was done by the Minister of the West, Mo Lizhiquan Gai Suwen behind the back of the imperial court, and the name of Su Mo Jin was to surrender to Goguryeo, but in fact, he only respected Gai Suwen's order.
The Goguryeo court was powerless to interfere with this, and could only turn a blind eye.
The reason is simple and helpless, Gai Suwen has already controlled most of the country's soldiers and horses, and all the territories west of the Yalu River and Liaodong are managed by Gai Wuwen like an iron bucket.
Gao Jianwu, the lord of the country, secretly hated Gai Wuwen's majesty, and Su's actions made him secretly hateful, but he was helpless.
Now that the Tang Dynasty court has provoked this matter, although Gao Yuqi represents the lord of Goguryeo, so as not to be affected by this matter, it is Quangai Suwen who really bears the anger of the Tang Dynasty.
After Gao Yuqi weighed it, he was happy to see that Qicheng chose to be silent, Quan Wensheng was secretly anxious, and repeatedly signaled that Beji Changxing must withstand Li Daozong's pressure and bite to death and not let go.
The three parties involved in the inner door have their own thoughts, and Beji Changxing's mind is turning, and then he flatly denies it: "There is no such thing!"
His Royal Highness the King of Jiangxia didn't know where to hear such rumors?
Since the five years of Zhenguan's tribute to the Tang Dynasty, there have been and only served as the suzerainty of the Tang Dynasty.
This matter Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites should have my Jing Ya tribute record as evidence, only hope that the Heavenly Dynasty will see clearly, and return my Ming Ya's name! ”
Li Daozong was noncommittal, and said to Gao Yuqi: "Goguryeo envoy, the old man also has a word to ask.
In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Goguryeo used 3,000 iron swords, 5,000 crossbows, and 100,000 arrows to help Sumo.
In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Goguryeo lost 120,000 stone of grain at the end of millet and 9,364 mules and horses.
In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, the end of Su selected eighteen Yanli women to send Goguryeo, and Goguryeo smiled and accepted them, and gave the end of Su a plaque of 'Loyalty and Righteousness'......
Is all of the above true? ”
This usually harmonious and almost almost forgotten that he was once a famous general in a hundred battles, and at this time, he threw one bombshell after another, completely overturning the three views of everyone in the Xuanzheng Palace.
Goguryeo is known to be disrespectful, but its wanton digging at the foot of the Tang Dynasty wall and mixing sand to such an extent still shocked the Tang Dynasty ministers.
If this matter is true, then it is imminent for the Tang Dynasty to launch a campaign against Goguryeo!
If Goguryeo committed such a serious crime and the Tang Dynasty was indifferent, the worldview of the tributary system built by the Tang Dynasty would immediately collapse.
From now on, the Tang Dynasty vassal will follow suit, not only the newly conquered and powerful Western Regions will be full of smoke, but it has been defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and the Eastern Turks, whose tribes have all moved south, will also set off a wave of restoration!
