Chapter 219: Anger Finally Broke Out
After dinner, a carriage drove into the imperial city, and then came to the Chengtian Gate of the palace city.
It is not uncommon for horse-drawn carriages to enter Chengtianmen, but they are all carriages in the palace. The carriage did not have the palace logo, which alerted the guards of the prison gate, who stepped forward to stop the carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was raised, revealing a young face.
"His Royal Highness King Qi, it's you." The guards said courteously.
"It's hard work, open the door, I have something to go to see the driver." The person who came was Li You, who was holding a cloth bag full of candy and handed it to the guards guarding the door.
Cheng Su, the general of the Zuojian Gate, had already explained that His Royal Highness King Qi had come down and wanted it at any time
Open the door right away.
"Your Highness." The guards took the candy and hurried to open the gate.
The carriage entered the palace and came to the door of the Yongxiang Emperor's bed before stopping. Li You got out of the carriage, and then Zhou Qian and two eunuchs got out of the carriage, carrying a large box, and walked towards Li Shimin's dormitory.
At the door of Li Shimin's dormitory, Wang De had already been guarding there when he heard the news, and he said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for you." β
Li You nodded with a smile and followed Wang De in.
Soon after, two figures swayed in the tall windows of the dormitory, and it was obvious that they were two people talking for a full hour, and then they turned into a figure.
Li You walked out and left Miyagi with Zhou Qian and the others.
Not long after, Li You appeared in Xiao Qian's mansion.
The heads of the two people on the window shadow shook for a while, and then they heard Xiao Qian smile and said, "Your Highness, the old minister understands." β
β¦β¦
Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.
Recently, the atmosphere was very depressing. The humiliation of being forced to reconcile with each other weighed heavily on the hearts of the ministers like a stone.
Needless to say, even the civilian officials are uncomfortable and have lost the spirit of the past.
Zeng Wenwen came out first, and he said: "Your Majesty, according to the negotiation records provided by Honglu Temple, the minister has sorted out the peace and affiliation agreement reached between our dynasty and Xue Yantuo. It reads as follows:
I married the princess of Nanping to Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan, and married 500,000 quintals of grain, 100,000 quintals of salt, 100,000 horses of silk, and 100,000 catties of fine iron.
Xue Yantuo gave 500 dowry horses. β
"What, what is this condition called? It's too much!" The ministers were talking.
"Your Majesty, this is too humiliating, are we really afraid of those prairie people?" Wei Chigong said excitedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, go to war with them." The generals of the military said one after another.
The civil officials were also in a sad mood, but they were silent one by one at the thought of being plunged into a long war again, and thinking about the horror of hundreds of thousands of steppe iron horsemen heading south.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, no. I need to recuperate, and when it's time to endure it, I'll endure it again.
Although our dynasty gave these goods to the grassland people, it was nothing, and with the abundance of our dynasty's products, as long as it could produce smoothly, these goods would still be able to leave a lot left after giving them these goods. β
"Holy." Hearing this, the ministers were even more depressed.
Xiao Qian said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei is reasonable. In order to avoid war, our dynasty should be forbearing, in ancient times, there was the Yue King Goujian lying down and tasting courage, and there was the Weishui Alliance in front of it. In order for me to live a stable life, what does it matter if I endure it again? β
This sounds even more panicked.
The eldest grandson Wuji asked coldly: "Lord Xiao, what do you mean by this, you agreed to these conditions of the grassland people this time, what should they do if they propose new conditions next time?" β
Xiao Qian said: "What's the matter, if they put forward conditions again, as long as it is not excessive, they will promise them again, as long as we can live in peace and stability, and cut down on food and clothing, what if we give them it?"
I don't believe that those steppe people can be so insatiable. β
"This, it's just ......" the ministers almost couldn't listen anymore.
Li Shimin pulled his face and said nothing.
Li Ke couldn't help it, he asked, "Lord Xiao, when did I become so humiliated?" β
Xiao Qian said: "This is not a matter of humiliation, it is the peace of mind of the people, I don't believe you ask everyone, who is willing to fight?" β
After speaking, he turned to the civil officials and asked, "Do you say that you will agree to these conditions of the steppe people, or will you fight with them?" β
Sure enough, the civil servants were silent.
Cheng Yanjin said: "You people are shrunken turtles. On weekdays, he shouted loyalty and patriotism, but at the critical moment, he was timid and afraid of things. Everyone else is on your neck, and they just take off their clothes to let them pull enough.
What kind of saint disciple is called, I'm bah!"
The civil servants looked ashamed, but one by one they remained silent.
At this time, Tang Fei, the secretary of Honglu Temple, asked to see him.
He said, "Your Majesty, Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan has asked for an audience. β
"Xuan." Li Shimin said.
This is the first word he said since he went to court today.
Yi Nan and Bo Tie came in, and they stood on the main hall with a big sting, and said, "See His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." β
Li Shimin said: "Yi Nan, I have agreed to the conditions you proposed, when will I officially make peace?" β
Yi Nan looked at Li Shimin's face, and saw that he was so compromised, and his heart was a little steady, and he decided to force Li Shimin again to get more benefits.
He said: "Your Majesty, due to the prolonged drought, a large area of pasture grass on the grassland has died, and there is a lack of pasture grazing in our department. Please give me the grassland on the dam in Yunzhou as a dowry. β
This is to pay compensation for Datang's land cession!
The military attachΓ©s glared angrily one by one, and the civilian officials began to burn with anger.
Li Shimin was angry, he held back his anger and said, "How can you get an inch." β
Yi Nan laughed mockingly: "Your Majesty, as an old father-in-law, what is it for you to give my son-in-law a little grassland?" β
The faces of the ministers became more and more ugly.
Li Shimin asked the civil officials: "You say, do you give him the grassland on this dam?" β
"Father." Li Ke was angry, he said: "Yi Nan is too arrogant, what kind of relationship do you have with him?" If he wants to fight, he will fight with him!"
"Yes, the minister is against peace, although the minister is a civil official, he is also willing to hold a three-foot Qingfeng and fight with him!" Kwon Wanji stepped forward.
"The minister is against peace!" This is Xiao Dongchang.
"The minister is against peace!" This is Gao Jingming.
"The minister is against peace!" Li Tai also stepped forward.
β¦β¦
Anger finally broke out, although the civil officials were afraid of trouble. There are also some people who are afraid of death, but the education they receive is also about the backbone of being a human being.
Yi Nan's step by step finally triggered the blood surging in their hearts, and they all finally stood up.
"Yi Nan get out!"
"Get out!"
The ministers of the Tang Dynasty roared one by one.
Facing the surging anger in the hall, Yi Nan was not afraid, he sneered and said, "Stop making peace with relatives." I'll go back at once, and you'll wait for my iron rider and scimitar. β
"Hahahaha", Li Shimin laughed! I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
