Chapter 44: The Psychological Shadow of the Tibetan Envoy
Li Longji saw that Pei Min was full of confidence, and he was not immune to being infected by his confidence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since they first met that day, Pei Min has never disappointed him.
This time, he chose to believe it as well. For his own people, Li Longji has never lacked trust.
"In this regard, I believe that no one in the Manchu Dynasty is Pei Qing's opponent, and you will receive the Tibetan envoy with me and the Ministry of Rites. It's up to you to negotiate the exchange of prisoners, and I'm sure you won't lose anything in this regard. But be careful, don't throw the messenger into the pigsty again! He deliberately emphasized, and when he said this, he laughed out loud.
The Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs couldn't help but let out a good-natured laugh.
Pei Min ignored the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and thought about how to pit Tubo in this matter.
The civil and military forces dispersed, and Song Jing and Pei Min stayed.
Li Longji asked Song Jing: "When Zai Fu first took over affairs, how did Song Qing feel?" ”
Song Jing is an old minister with a serious face, with phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, and thin and small eyes, giving people a serious and fierce feeling, which does not look very easy to contact.
"Back to Your Majesty, it seems that the civil and military ministers are not very welcoming to your subordinates!" Song Jing told the truth, a little helpless, but more fearless.
Song Jing, like Pei Min, is a young talent, erudite and talented, in the year of the weak crown, he was a high school jinshi and first, even younger than Pei Min, and became the champion at the age of seventeen, so he was promoted to supervise the imperial history after the Yichang order, Fengge Sheren, and finally promoted to the imperial history Zhongcheng.
Song Jing's squareness was undoubtedly evident when he succeeded to the imperial history.
Wu Zetian's favorite minister Zhang Changzong is known as Lotus Liulang, who is deeply favored and monopolizes the power of the court.
Song Jing ignored it, and directly asked Xiangshi about the fortune without permission, violating the palace rules and going to prison. forced Wu Zetian to use the emperor's privileges and pardon Zhang Zongchang to keep him.
Wu Zetian ordered Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, two brothers, to go to Song Jing's residence to apologize, but Song Jing refused to see them.
This is just a small thing, what really made it famous was the Ruizong period, after the revival of Li Tang, Ruizong Li Dan promoted Song Jing to the prime minister, which was the first time he was the prime minister. In the face of the infighting between Li Longji and Princess Taiping, and in the face of their indiscriminate arrangement of cronies, he did not give face to anyone, and put forward the criterion of "although the qualifications are deep in the college entrance examination, those who are not talented will not be taken", and despite the opposition and obstruction of Princess Taiping and Li Longji, who had great power at that time, more than 1,000 mediocre officials were dismissed. In just one year, he almost offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
It is also conceivable that Song Jing's eyes are full of sand.
Li Longji looked at Pei Min and said, "What does Pei Qing think?" ”
"The more unwelcome it is, the more necessary it is for Song Xiang to exist." Pei Min has a certain understanding of Song Jing's resume, and he knows why the hundred officials do not welcome Song Jing, and said: "Your Majesty is really as wise as a torch, and with Song Xiang presiding over the rule of officials, he will definitely be able to promote the style of diligence and honesty." ”
He just stood and talked without backache, he was far away in Taozhou, and Song Jing was in charge of the officials, so he couldn't control him.
As for the officials in the capital, they are dead friends and not dead poor people.
"That's what I thought!" Li Longji looked at Song Jing solemnly and said: "I hope that civil and military officials can be like Pei Qing, and devote their minds to the construction and development of the Tang Dynasty, instead of spending their minds on each other's problems. What we want is for the famous ministers and good generals to gather together, let a hundred flowers bloom, discuss with each other, and win glory and serve my Tang Dynasty, instead of pushing and giving in in case of trouble, one person speaks, and the ministers echo the situation. ”
"The minister understands!" Song Jing knew the deep meaning of Li Longji's words, but he was surprised in his heart, he had heard that Pei Min had won Li Longji's trust, but he didn't expect that he would trust him so much. Thinking of Pei Min's actions, he is undoubtedly a rare pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and he moved the idea of making in-depth friends with him.
Pei Min estimated that Li Longji wanted to use his influence in the Yushitai to assist Song Jing, whose strength was far inferior to Yao Chong's, and he understood it.
After Song Jing retreated, Pei Min told Li Longji his intentions.
"In the past few years of development, our Datang military strength has made full progress. The morale of the soldiers is high, and the combat strength cannot be the same. Before coming to Chang'an, the minister and Guo Jiedu had discussions on military affairs in Tibet. We unanimously agreed that our cavalry was relatively weak, and it was not yet time to capture Jiuqu in Hexi. Just take this opportunity to exchange some war horses with Tubo to improve the strength of our cavalry. As long as the Jiuqu Land in Hexi is recovered, Ma Zheng will definitely be able to make rapid progress and achieve the great cause of Taizong, which is just around the corner. ”
"Haha!" Li Longji smiled: "I know that Jingyuan has other plans. He said and muttered: "Ma Zheng has been abandoned for many years, and now it only relies on the Weiyuan Military Horse Farm, and the development is really slow. Being able to recover Hexi Jiuqu as soon as possible is of great benefit to Ma Zheng, and I am sure of what you say. Let's go, let's go to the Wude Hall and meet the Tibetan envoy. ”
Pei Min accompanied Li Longji to the Wude Palace, and he arranged for Gao Lishi to pass the rites and summon the messengers.
Before Li Longji summoned him, the Ministry of Rites was in charge of receiving him in the Sifang Pavilion to show the hospitality of the Celestial Empire.
The first to walk into the hall was Pei Min's eldest brother, He Zhizhang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the two brothers greeted each other with their eyes to show friendship.
Pei Min looked behind He Zhizhang, wanting to see what kind of virtue his opponent was this time.
At this glance, I couldn't help grinning, there was a familiar face.
Behind He Zhizhang is an old Tibetan minister with white hair. He didn't know the old minister of Tubo, but the person behind the old minister was very familiar, it was the Ai Xuet who put him in the pigsty.
Ai Xuete already has a certain sense of fear about the envoy to the Tang Dynasty, but when it comes to the talent of scripture and history, there is no second person in Tubo who can make Confucian scripture and history books catchy and come at hand. Even if he has a psychological shadow, he has to take on a heavy responsibility.
In order to calm his heart, the old woman Chi Malen, the ruler of Tibet, specially comforted: "This is going to Chang'an, from the Iron Blade City to Shanzhou, bypassing Taozhou, entering Chang'an, and not contacting Pei Min." ”
Iron Blade City is also the Stone Castle City that Pei Min intends to recover, but they are two countries, and their names are different.
Ai Xuete reluctantly agreed, he really didn't dare to go to Taozhou to review that experience, and bypassed Taozhou from afar, but he didn't want to see the demon in Chang'an, hundreds of miles away from Taozhou.
"Uh......" Ai Xuete saw Pei Min's friendly smile!
The internal organs rolled violently in the stomach, and the sandalwood in the hall seemed to have turned into a drowning atmosphere in the pigsty because of Pei Min's existence, and the food enjoyed at noon seemed to have become water for feeding the pigs.
Although Ai Xuete knew that he couldn't lose Tubo's face, he still couldn't help but hold his stomach and vomit.
For Pei Min and the half-moon career of Taozhou pigsty, it has left a deep psychological shadow in his heart, like a nightmare.
