Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Qualified Diplomat

The Wei Wangfu, which has not yet changed its brand, opened its door today after closing its doors for several days to welcome Gao Yuqi, the envoy of Goguryeo, and at the same time shocked the forces that secretly paid attention to Li Tai, and gave Gao Yuqi enough face.

Under the highest courtesy of the Wei Palace, Gao Yuqi was flattered, he enjoyed the treatment of Pei Xingjian, and under the careful accompaniment of Zhao Wu, he went straight to Li Tai's study.

When I arrived outside the study, I saw Li Tai standing at the door and laughed loudly: "Senior brother, Tai has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Li Tai opened the door to greet him, but at this time he treated each other with personal friendship, which made Gao Yuqi have mixed tastes.

The Tang Dynasty is worthy of being an outstanding person in the Celestial Empire, when today's son is the heavenly khan worshiped by the hundred tribes, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, is also sharp, young and cunning and changeable.

With this father and son, Goguryeo's unspeakable ambition does not know when and when it will be able to get what it wants.

Gao Yuqi leaned forward and said: "Foreign Minister Gao Yuqi has seen His Royal Highness, although he is a few years old for His Royal Highness, he can't be called His Royal Highness's brother." ”

"Hahahaha......

If it is an ordinary envoy, he will naturally not be able to say that brother, but the senior brother is different, if it is not for the senior brother to act in time that day, Tai will definitely be poisoned and can enjoy today's blessings? “

Li Tai picked up Gao Yuqi, affectionately supported the other party's arm to welcome him into the study, pointed at Pei Xingjian and said: "Brother Gao, this is the junior apprentice Pei Xingjian, the word abides by the contract, and the child of the Pei family in Hedong."

Keep the promise, haven't you seen the Goguryeo envoy? ”

Pei Xingjian immediately said: "Hedong Pei Xingjian has seen the Goguryeo envoy!" ”

Gao Yuqi looked at this handsome young man with an extraordinary appearance, and blurted out praise: "The Pei family in Hedong is also a famous family in the Central Plains, and when I saw the covenant today, he was really the dragon among people, worthy of the famous family!" ”

He praised it sincerely, and at the same time once again sighed that there were so many merry children in the Central Plains.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries, Li Tai and Gao Yuqi took their own seats, and Pei Xingjian went to cook tea after giving a gift.

Li Tai and Gao Yuqi are both well-educated people, coupled with the kinship of Kunlunju in the First World War, although they all know what will happen next, but this does not seem to affect the two of them to talk about each other.

After a stick of incense, the preface said that the tea was boiling, and Gao Yuqi picked up the teacup and sighed.

Li Tai was puzzled: "Why is Senior Brother melancholy? ”

Gao Yuqi smiled bitterly and said, "Why does Your Highness ask knowingly? ”

"Oh?

There are friends from afar who don't say anything, Tai is wholeheartedly waiting, and the words of the senior brother make Tai uneasy. ”

Li Tai put away his smile and looked at Gao Yuqi "suspiciously", Gao Yuqi shook his head and looked at Pei Xingjian without saying a word.

"It's okay, Brother Gao can speak as bluntly as he can, keep the covenant and Tai is one, and everything can be heard!" Li Tai's words dispelled Gao Yuqi's concerns.

"That being the case, so-and-so will listen to it wholeheartedly."

Gao Yuqi said and stood up and shook Li Tai to the end: "Your Highness, the three-day period is approaching, I hope Your Highness will look at you and me for a little affection, and be lenient with Goguryeo!"

The fact that Kunlun Juyi is Quan Wensheng did it without authorization, and over the years, the king has been bent on marrying the Tang Dynasty, so he did not hesitate to let his heir Gao Huanquan enter Chang'an to pay tribute in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan.

The friendship between the two countries for 20 years is like a mountain and a flowing water, a pine and a cypress for 10,000 years, and it must not be wasted because Quan Wensheng alone. ”

"This is right, if it weren't for your years of hard work and solitude in the king, Lone would not have allowed you a three-day period."

Li Tai was noncommittal, but he did not help Gao Yuqi.

The conversation got to the point, Li Tai claimed to be a lonely Gao Yuqi and didn't dare to have any more personal feelings, so he had to continue to bow and say: "Your Highness is grateful to the foreign ministers, so that the two countries can turn the conflict into a jade silk, and tens of millions of people can be saved from the scourge of swordsmen, which is a great thing!" ”

"Heh, you are quite good at putting gold on your face, the war is together, it is you Goguryeo who suffer from the disaster of swords, I have a million heroes in the Tang Dynasty, if I let Goguryeo cross the border with one soldier, I Li Tai will lose half of my face and live in the world!"

The other party has not yet recognized the reality, and the words seem to be for the peace of the two countries, but in fact, there is a hidden needle in the cotton and a threat, and Li Tai is as cold as frost and ruthless sarcasm.

Gao Yuqi got up slowly, and said with the same expressionless face: "Of course, Goguryeo is powerless to cross the border in front of the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry, but to protect the righteousness of the ancestors' homeland, it is still expected that the soldiers will burn the jade with their lives!" ”

Pei Xingjian was dumbfounded, looking at the two talented brothers, who were so affectionate, that they were better than the two brothers, and they turned their faces and denied it for a moment, and they came and went.

Li Tai taught him a lesson with practical actions today, what is diplomacy?

What kind of personal affairs where lives intersect, what kind of gentle and elegant moral system, is worthless in the face of the interests of the family and the country!

This is very different from his imagination of gentlemen treating each other as equals.

Li Tai shouted: "What is the homeland?

The Land of Ancestors also!

The land of Liaodong is the land of the four counties of my Han Dynasty, Xuansu, Zhenfan, and Lintun!

If we talk about the homeland, Liaodong should be the ancestral homeland of our Han people! ”

Gao Yuqi frowned and said: "In this way, Datang wants to take advantage of the Kunlun Ju incident to take the opportunity to recover Liaodong?"

In this way, is it false that fifty miles is not defended, and is it true that whales swallow and encroach on Liaodong?

If that's the case, there is nothing to say to His Highness!

Leave! ”

Pei Xingjian was dumbfounded, this is the collapse of the talk?

If this is a failure, won't all of Master's plans become a bamboo basket for nothing?

Li Tai didn't look at Gao Yuqi, who walked out of the study with his head held high, he took two sips of tea leisurely, until the other party's slow pace had walked out of the five zhang, and then he sighed loudly: "It's a pity, it's a pity that a good Goguryeo envoy who fought for the country's interests, but in the end he made a wedding dress for the Quan family."

Gao's 500 years of country, but it will be cut off overnight in the hands of your group of ministers, Gao Jianwu has been cautious all his life, but in the end, he will end up with corpses on the streets and no corpses.

Sad, sad......"

Gao Yuqi suddenly stopped, turned around, and said angrily: "King Wei!

Although Tang is in the state, An can insult me like this, the lord of the Goguryeo foreign domain?

King Wei made such vicious words, where is the system of the Celestial Empire? ”

Li Tai sneered: "Physique?

Today, I wholeheartedly tell you that it is a great system to prevent your Gao clan from destroying the family! ”

What do you mean by that?

Even if the Tang Dynasty insists on marching to Liaodong, the first person to bear the brunt is the rebel of the Quan family, and the lord of the country can sit back and watch it reorganize the rivers and mountains! ”

Gao Yuqi looked upright, Li Tai raised his head and said, "That being the case, why did you come to the meeting place with me today?" ”

"A certain person can't bear to be miserable, although the Quan clan is tyrannical and unsubordinate, but millions of soldiers and civilians are innocent, and a certain envoy has the responsibility to stop the war!" Gao Yuqi's face does not change color, and the top of her head has a ritual.

…… Li Taichong Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "See, what is an envoy, the Goguryeo envoy is one of the best."

You should keep in mind that the so-called diplomatic relations, the person in charge of the matter is cheeky and black-hearted, and the high envoy can be an example! ”

Pei Xingjian said with reverence on his face: "Keep the promise and be taught!" ”

Gao Yuqi......

"Hehe, don't be annoyed, Lonely's words are by no means an insult to you, this principle is the highest praise for the work of a foreign envoy." Li Tai praised Gao Yuqi seriously.

"King Wei praised a certain person who couldn't bear it, and a certain pair of Goguryeo's fist heart can be expressed every day, why does His Royal Highness want to be so joking and mocking?" Gao Yuqi was full of bruises and looked angry.

Li Tai nodded and said: "It is precisely because of your loyalty to Goguryeo that Lone is loyal to you, otherwise I will kill your monarch and minister!" ”

Gao Yuqi's face changed several times, and she seemed to be a little hesitant, and said for a long time: "How can Your Highness say this?" ”

Cheng, I'll give you eighty points for this acting.

Li Tai said: "Everyone who is a rebellious minister and a thief will be punished."

Today's disaster of the Goguryeo royal family, how can the Tang Dynasty, as the suzerain, empathize with it, not be heartbroken?

Let me ask you, is the current military and political power of Goguryeo in the hands of the Quans? ”

Gao Yuqi was silent when she heard this, and said hatefully after a while: "Yes, the Quan clan is dominant, and when he enters the court, he goes to the palace to see that the lord of the country does not kneel."

When entering and leaving the palace, this official must find a clan or support the loyal and noble of the lord, force his five bodies to throw himself to the ground, and then step on his head to make a dismount stone.

Its arrogance is unbridled and indignant! ”

"That being the case, Gasuwen is more powerful than I thought, in other words, he is only trying to usurp the throne.

Hehe, then I would like to ask you a question.

Once the Tang Dynasty sends troops to Liaodong, will the Quan clan be happy to see it happen and put all the responsibility for this military disaster on your head Gao Yuqi?

At that time, it is not a pity that you Gao Yuqi will die, but this is definitely not Gai Suwen's goal.

After that, will he take advantage of the situation to announce that Gao Jianwu is unkind in the history of heaven and earth, and then depose Gao Jianwu, the lord of the country, without much effort? ”
