"Wait for your Highness!"

In the study room of Taiji Palace, Lin Mingdu, Xiao Qian and several other backbone ministers of the prince's family were talking to Zhang Cambodia, and suddenly saw Li Xian turn out from behind the screen, and they all got up, and they all gave their own big gifts.

"Excuse me, sit down."

Li Xian barely slept last night, and after the morning dynasty dispersed, he went to Gaozong's place to talk for a long time, and when he returned to the East Palace, he couldn't help but be a little tired, but his spirit was still good, and he walked to the back of the copywriter calmly, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, pressed his hand, and commanded in a calm voice.

"Your Highness."

Lin Mingdu and others came to the East Palace, not only on behalf of themselves, but also on behalf of a large number of officials of their respective factions behind them, for the sake of the natural peace decided by the court this morning, at this time they couldn't help but be a little anxious, but even if they were in a hurry, no one dared to make a mistake in the number of etiquette, and they all thanked them according to the rules of the court, and then they sat down.

"Your Highness, please forgive your presumptuousness, the fact of this peace is not what Your Highness should do, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will damage Your Highness's reputation, and I beg Your Highness to call it sick!"

Xiao Ming has done the work of imperial history for most of his life, and his personality is more impulsive, and he was the first to lose his breath, and as soon as Fang sat down, he was already the first to speak.

"Your Highness, Weichen thinks what Xiao Zhongcheng said is very true, and the minister is willing to do it on behalf of His Highness!"

Lin Ming, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, already has the power and responsibility to be involved in foreign affairs, and when he heard Xiao Ming's suggestion, he thought it was quite true in his heart, so he hurriedly echoed the words.

"Your Highness, the last general also thinks that it is appropriate to avoid this matter, and please think twice!"

Although Xiao Qian was born as a military general, he has seen a lot of intrigues and tricks for a long time, and there is already a gap in his chest, and his views on the matter of peace are consistent with those of all officials.

Over the years, with the increasing authority of Li Xian, the number of ministers under his command has increased day by day, and there are many large and small factions, but the core is still only four lines - the ministers from Hexi civil officials represented by Lin Mingdu are one line, the generals in the army represented by Xiao Qian are one line, and the former prince Li Hong represented by Xiao Ming is also a family of their own, and the other line is the Wenchen from the former royal palace officials represented by Luo Bin Wang and Di Renjie; These four series of people are the core of Li Xian's strength, and at this time, the leaders of the three series have spoken out, even if it is Li Xian, they cannot ignore it.

"You don't have to worry too much, this matter has been arranged by the palace, there should not be too much difference, you just need to deal with official affairs with peace of mind."

Lin Mingdu and others can see the things, how can Li Xian have countless hearts, since he knows that the intentions of this peace negotiation under the cooperation of Empress Wu and King Yue are very vicious, and he knows that once the peace agreement reaches a stalemate or rupture, all the consequences will have to be borne by Li Xian himself, reputation damage is still a trivial matter, and the Hexi Army is a fatal big thing, in this regard, Li Xian has already prepared, but he is not afraid that the heavenly meeting will collapse, but it is a matter of confidentiality, once there is a slight leakage, the consequences are unimaginable, therefore, Even though everyone in front of him was a confidant, Li Xian didn't want to reveal even the slightest hint of the inside story, so he could only smile mildly and comforted everyone in general.

"Your Highness, this matter is very important, you must not ignore it, if there is a mistake, then ......"

Although Li Xian's words had shown strong self-confidence, Xiao Ming was still relieved, and impatiently spoke again.

"It's okay, this palace knows it." Li Xian obviously didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, and he didn't wait for Xiao Ming to finish speaking, he was already pressing, and his words were definitely conclusive, and he turned his gaze to Lin Mingdu, and asked in a deep voice: "Zizhen (Lin Mingdu's words), has there been any movement in the Great Food Envoy Group in the past few days?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, in the past three days, Mua Via Aben and his lieutenants have never left the Imperial Court, but his subordinates often go out in groups and travel all over the capital, and there are not a few people in the market."

As soon as he heard Li Xian ask like this, Lin Mingdu knew that Li Xian didn't want to spend more time on whether to take over the peace talks, and it was inevitable that he would be uneasy in his heart, but he didn't dare to persuade him more, so he could only answer respectfully.

"Well, Aben and his people have seen it once, it is more than slippery, but the ability is lacking, this time it is such a big thing, the Great Food Country will not entrust the important task to it, Zizhen will go to Haosheng to find out, and see who is the one in this envoy group."

Since Li Xian didn't want everyone to dwell on the pros and cons of the next peace talks, he had to make some arrangements for specific affairs, even if he had actually already obtained a detailed report and knew that there was an important person in this envoy group, but it did not prevent Li Xian from finding something to do for Lin Mingdu.

"No, Weichen obeys."

was stirred up by Li Xian like this, Lin Mingdu was not good at saying more, so he could only respectfully agree to the promise.

"Also, the big food envoy group has arrived for three days, the palace is a decree and discussion, it is not good to lose the courtesy, tomorrow evening the palace will set up a banquet in the East Palace, even if it is for the big food envoy group to catch the wind, as for the diet, let the big food envoy group send someone to prepare for themselves, this matter will be done by Zizhen together, today you are tired, just discuss here first."

After Li Xian explained a few words, he immediately issued an order to expel the guest, obviously not intending to give everyone the slightest chance to speak.

"No, the ministers will retire."

Li Xiandu had already said this, Xiao Ming and the others were not good at talking, so they could only bow down and retreat.

"Your Highness has a mind?"

After everyone left, Zhang Cambodia, who had always been silent, opened his mouth.

"It's okay, Hongu just feels a little tired."

Li Xian does have a mind, he has been fighting with the Empress Wu for many years like this, he is really tired, since he started this morning, the idea of "the change of Xuanwu Gate" has been going up and down in Li Xian's mind, even if he knows that this move will bring serious hidden dangers, but Li Xian, who is extremely tired, already has some reasons not to play with the Empress Wu anymore, of course, this idea Li Xian is thinking about it himself, and he does not intend to say that it will come out, even in the face of a loyal strategist like Zhang Khan Zhi, It's just that the stakes are too big.

"If Your Highness wants the Tang Dynasty to be prosperous forever, you should be tired first, and it's not too late to see everything in the future."

Zhang Cambodia has followed Li Xian for so many years, and he knows Li Xian very well, even if Li Xian doesn't say what is on his mind, he can guess a rough idea, which is a tactful relief.

"What Zhang Gong said is very true, let's just wait and see."

The drum does not need a heavy hammer, Li Xian is a shrewd individual, naturally he knew the meaning of Zhang Khan's words as soon as he heard it, and the left and right were just euphemistically persuading Li Xian not to easily raise troops, so as not to leave endless hidden dangers for the Tang Dynasty foundation.

"This morning, there has been a letter from the head office of Zhuangzhang, and the urgent report will be able to arrive in Beijing in three days, and this matter should not be a big problem."

Zhang Cambodia understood the pain in Li Xian's heart, but it was difficult to persuade more, so he could only change the topic.

"Well, that's fine, the palace is a little tired, Gong Zhang, please take care of yourself."

As soon as he heard that the urgent report was coming, Li Xian's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, but he didn't say much, sighed slightly, got up, walked out of the study slowly, and went straight to the backyard......

"Please tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the foreign minister must go to the appointment on time, definitely, ...... must"

Outside the gate of the Li Fan Yuan, a big cannibal with a white scarf on his head, and a fat body like a pig is respectfully sending Lin Mingdu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who came to send invitations, out of the gate, a fat face full of flattering smiles, this person is the envoy of the Great Food Envoy Corps Mua Via Aben - Mua Via Aben, originally a tax official in Alexandria, was ordered to take the cargo ship of "Wang Ji Firm" to Datang, and stayed in Datang for more than two years before returning to Dashi, speaking Chinese quite fluently, This time, he was ordered by the caliph to be the envoy and came to the Tang Dynasty to discuss the covenant.

"Okay, this official will return to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the ambassador will stay."

Lin Mingdu is a member of the court, if it weren't for Li Xian's order, he would not have disdained to go to the Li Fan Yuan and his party, so he left after finishing his work, and he didn't even want to stay for a moment, so he didn't care how Mua Via Aben thought, and after explaining the scene, he got into the carriage and rushed to the direction of the East Palace.

"My lord, the prince of the Tang Kingdom sent someone to send an invitation, saying that he was going to invite everyone in my envoy group to wait, look at this ......"

As soon as Lin Mingdu left, the smirk on Mu'a Via Aben's face had disappeared, and with a gloomy face, he quickly turned back to the room, and saw that there were no outsiders left and right, and he bowed to a bearded middle-aged man dressed in guard clothes, and said a word of request with great respect, the appearance of the servile face and knees was exactly the courtesy that a slave should have to his master, and it is not surprising to put it bluntly, this middle-aged Han Fang is the real person who speaks in the envoy group - Yazid ibn Abu, the eldest son of the current caliphate!

"Well, let's go check it out."

Yezid ibn Abu came to the Tang Dynasty this time, not only to experience the strength of the Tang Dynasty, but also to see the famous Tang Prince Li Xian, and to observe what kind of person this Tang Prince is, the reason why he came in disguise is not that he is afraid that the Tang Dynasty will be unfavorable to him, but to have fewer restrictions, to be able to see the real Tang from the bottom, when he pretended to be a guard, he already knew about the invitation, and he also knew that this negotiation was actually made by the Tang Prince himself, and he had the intention to meet Li Xianqi first. There is no reason why Mu'a Wiya Aben's request for instructions is not allowed.

"Okay, my subordinates will order them to go down and send a few imams to the East Palace to prepare a banquet first?"

When Yazid ibn Abu said this, Mu'a Wiya 'Abn did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly spoke up.

"Well, let's go."

Hearing Mu'a Via Aben mention this, Yazid ibn Abu's face couldn't help but sink, nothing else, just because since the Tang prince can know the dietary taboos of the Great Food Country, he obviously has a deep understanding of the Great Food, and his intentions must be not small, Yazid Ibn Abu was a little more wary of the Tang Prince, but he didn't say that he would come out, but just silently sent Mu'a Via Aben out, but he himself frowned and fell into contemplation......
