Chapter 790: The Envoy of the Southern Zhao (12) (2nd Update)
"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei has verified Long Teng's identity, and this person and his two sons and daughters are indeed not in Nanzhao. A few months earlier, the Nanzhao monarch Shun Huazhen had held a banquet at the imperial palace, which Long Teng did attend, and not long after, he disappeared from Nanzhao. ”
I have to say that the speed of Jin Yiwei is still relatively fast, after all, it is thousands of miles apart, and it takes a lot of time to verify Longteng's identity.
In the era when there were no developed communication equipment, this was already very good.
It's a pity that there are no photos of Shun Huazhen and others.
"Your Majesty, this is the general information that Jinyiwei found out about the three of Longteng's father and daughter."
As he spoke, Li Jian handed over a fold.
Li Ye took a general look at it and put it aside, "What is the domestic political situation in Nanzhao at this time?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, at present, the surface of Nanzhao seems to be peaceful, but the Nanzhao monarch Shun Huazhen has been hollowed out, and the Qingping official Zheng Maisi has controlled the military and political power of Nanzhao, and those who disobey him have been cleaned up.
The minister suspected that Zheng Maihei might intend to depose the monarch and stand on his own. Li Jian guessed.
"Abolish the monarch and stand on his own? Predictable. Li Ye was not surprised, in history, this Qingping official from the Han dynasty killed all the Nanzhao royal family.
"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei also found out that the Nanzhao monarch Shunhuazhen sent someone to meet Duan Baolong secretly, what is the specific matter, Jinyiwei has not found out.
The minister suspected that the alliance between Nanzhao was deceitful. Li Jian said.
"It seems that this Nanzhao Emperor has a lot of calculations." Li Ye sneered, "You said that if you tell Zheng Maihei about the little emperor sending someone to form an alliance, what will be the situation in Nanzhao?" ”
Li Jian suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his back was cold.
In terms of ruthlessness, the saint in front of him is really ruthless when he should be ruthless.
If Zheng Maisi knew about this, there was a chance that he would kill Shun Huazhen in advance.
When the time came, Nanzhao was in civil strife, and the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Nanzhao on the grounds of forming an alliance with Nanzhao to avenge Shun Huazhen.
"Come on, go and pass on the Honglu Temple Qing Gui Renshao, and let him take Longteng into the palace tomorrow to see me."
Now that the identity has been verified, the negotiations with Nanzhao have to officially begin.
。。。。。。
"Little Wang Nanzhao Longteng, see Your Majesty."
Knowing that the Tang Emperor summoned him, Long Teng directly changed into his dress in Nanzhao, this kind of meeting between countries, he can't lose the image of Nanzhao.
"Long Qing, please get up."
In the Xuanzheng Palace, in the huge palace in front of him, Rao was born in the Nanzhao royal family, and he was also a little shocked.
Compared with the palace in front of him, the palace of Nanzhao has lost its style.
"Xiao Wang came to Datang on the order of my monarch to come to Datang to form an alliance with Datang, and is willing to marry both sides, forever marry Qin and Jin, and help each other." Longteng didn't want to lose momentum.
"Your Highness Long, this is not appropriate." Li Zhen stood up.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency?" Seeing Li Zhen, who was in front of him at the station in front of him, which was higher than Quy Nhon Shao, Long Teng was not familiar with it.
"In the Tang Dynasty Cabinet scholar Li Zhen." Li Zhen said politely.
"It turned out to be Scholar Li, what's wrong with Xiao Wang's words?" Longteng asked rhetorically.
"Your Highness Long, the good of Qin and Jin and the condition for forming an alliance are that the strength of the two sides is equal, Nanzhao is in a corner, and the national strength is not as good as my Tang Dynasty.
His Royal Highness Long's term is naturally inappropriate. Bora
And if I remember correctly, His Royal Highness represents the monarch of Nanzhao, not the alliance with my Tang Dynasty on behalf of Nanzhao. Li Zhen's words were as sharp as ever.
"Isn't Scholar Lee kidding? Why can't the monarch of my dynasty represent Nanzhao? Isn't the emperor of the Tang Dynasty representing the Tang Dynasty? "When it comes to negotiations and national dignity, Longteng also has to come forward to defend it.
"It's not the same. The monarch of your country has no real power, and his power is hollowed out by Zheng Maihei, the official of Qingping, otherwise His Royal Highness would not have secretly come to the Tang Dynasty to discuss the alliance.
And I, the current saint of Datang, am the master of a generation of Zhongxing, the supreme person of Datang, how can I be compared with the monarch of your country.
If you really want to form an alliance, you have to be sincere. Li Zhen sneered.
Seeing the ugly rumbling face, Li Ye had no intention of stopping Li Zhen, the initiative must be on his side.
Gui Ren Shao spoke at the right time, "Your Highness, the conditions of my Datang are the previous three.
First, Nanzhao canceled the emperor's title and declared himself a vassal to the Tang Dynasty;
second, Nanzhao needs to return the territory of the Tang Dynasty that has been conquered in the last 200 years;
Third, Nanzhao needs to be responsible for the military expenses and grain and grass of our Tang army.
If your country can agree to these three conditions, the alliance can be carried out, and Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty will also order to help your monarch calm down the civil strife. ”
"Your Majesty, these three conditions, except for the first and third Xiao Wang, who can agree on behalf of the monarch of our dynasty, the second one requires the little king to return to the country to show the monarch in order to give an accurate answer." Longteng hesitated for a moment and said.
"Don't worry, after all, Datang is not in a hurry about this matter, if you are willing to wait, it depends on whether your monarch is willing to wait." Li Ye smiled and said.
Long Teng also thought of one thing, that is, marriage, although it was unlikely, he still wanted to try.
"Your Majesty, before leaving, the monarch of our dynasty once told Xiao Wang that he hoped to marry a princess in the Tang Dynasty and deepen the relationship between the two countries."
"Marriage? It's not impossible. Long Teng was overjoyed in his heart, but who knew that Li Ye's words changed, "But my Datang will not marry a princess from now on, if you want to marry, you can choose a princess or clan girl from your country's clan to marry into my Tang royal family."
This is also considered a marriage. ”
"This..." Although Long Teng expected it, he didn't expect it to become like this, so he couldn't do it, "Your Majesty, Nanzhao doesn't have a suitable princess of the right age." ”
"No, no, no, the women of the clan can do it too."
Long Teng hesitated for a moment, "Back to Your Majesty, even if the woman of the clan is crowned a princess, she is not worthy of Your Majesty's honorable status." ”
Li Ye's face suddenly darkened, "It's not a marriage with me." There are really a few princes who are close to adulthood, if your country is really sincere, you might as well choose a beautiful woman of the right age from the clan to marry my prince. ”
"This, Xiao Wang has to go back to China to discuss with the monarch before he can give an answer. Although there are many women of appropriate age in my country's clans, if they are used as marriages, they also need to be carefully screened. Longteng replied.
"Don't bother. I heard that Long Qing has a daughter under his name, Yun Ying is not married, and her appearance is also standard.
Since Aiqing was ordered by the monarch of your country to secretly come to my Tang Dynasty to discuss the alliance and send troops, I think it is also deeply trusted by the monarch of your country, isn't this right?
As the county lord of Aiqing's daughter, as the princess of my prince, she can be regarded as a match.
It just so happens that the third prince under my knee has just been crowned the pious king not long ago, and he has not yet married the princess, I don't know what Aiqing wants? ”
Saying that, Li Ye looked at Long Teng with a smile, his eyes seemed to be full of smiles, but they were full of a meaning that could not be refused.
"Your Majesty, this... This, Xiao Wang needs... Longteng didn't expect Datang to let his daughter marry Datang, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Don't Aiqing agree? That's not too much to ask, isn't it? If Aiqing couldn't even agree to this request, I don't think there was any need for this negotiation to continue.
Maybe Zheng Maihei, the Qingping official of your country, is willing to marry a daughter, although it is not a royal family, maybe Zheng Maihei's daughter will become a royal family in the future? Li Ye said lightly.
Li Ye said it very easily, but in Longteng's heart, he turned the river and the sea.
If Datang turns to support Zheng Maihei, it will be bad!
