Chapter 119: Nanzhao Seeking Relatives (5)
Li Ye's opinion? Li Ye has always disapproved of harmony, believing that it is a humiliation. However, the bad habit of harmony was taken by the Han Dynasty, although the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period also had harmony, but it was different from the harmony of the Han Dynasty: during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was the harmony between the vassal states, but the Han Dynasty was friendly to the outside world, especially the nomads in the north.
Although the Han Dynasty was strong, it also married a lot of princesses, and the same Tang Dynasty was, and I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty would not be in harmony hundreds of years later.
For harmony, Li Ye is not good at quelling whether it is right or wrong to rebel, this is regarded as a manifestation of flexible diplomacy, but at the expense of some clan women. However, Li Ye will not agree to anything about marrying his imperial sister to Nanzhao, Nanzhao will die in a short time, and this Long Shun is not a good bird, he is extravagant, wouldn't the second imperial sister suffer if she married each other?
However, this matter is not something that can be decided by his opposition, and now that the envoys of Nanzhao have not come, at least they have to see what the other party is doing. Although there was no substantial progress in this meeting, Li Ye's trip can be regarded as something to gain, at least Li Yi is not very concerned about the matter of harmony, if the other party insists, then it is really difficult to do. Now that the other party is not sad about this, it is still possible to destroy the harmony.
Li Yi, who was really impatient, looked at the people who were still arguing, and couldn't help but get angry, "Okay, after saying so much, you know that if you fight over and fight for the past, you can't form a unified opinion?" ”
Li Yi's frenzy finally quieted down the hall, and everyone found that everyone else was red-faced, and they were a little secretly surprised when they thought of the scene just now, and they might all wonder if it was themselves just now.
"Your Majesty, the Nanzhao Mission is about to arrive, but the person responsible for welcoming the mission has not yet been decided. Nanzhao sent a prime minister over there, and the court here. Yang Fugong on the side hesitated.
"Then why don't you send a prime minister to meet you? Xiao Qing? Li Yi looked at Xiao Yu, who was arguing the most fiercely just now, and let the other party forget this kind of errand.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xiao is not suitable, he is against harmony, if he is in charge of reception, wouldn't it damage the face of the court?" Tian Lingzi said lightly.
"What does it mean to lose face? Does Jin Guogong want to go? Do you have face when you go? Xiao Yu retorted unceremoniously, and looked at the other party's lower body, and his meaning was self-evident.
Tian Lingzi didn't know what Xiao Yu meant by this, and he was immediately furious, "Lord Xiao, what do you mean by this?" ”
"It's not interesting. If Jin Guogong is willing to go, Xiao will definitely not fight with Guogong. Xiao Yu said lightly.
"Okay, I told you to stop arguing, still arguing? How long has it been since you guys kept arguing? Hearing the quarrel of these people, Li Yi's head was big, because of this matter, he didn't have time to do anything else today, and his heart was on fire.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let King Shou go?" Zheng Jin, who was on the side, stood up and spoke.
"Shouwang?" Li Yi looked at Li Ye, who didn't talk much, and was a little puzzled.
"Returning to Your Majesty, King Shou is a prince, and his status is higher than that of the prime minister of Nanzhao, which can not only show the majesty of the imperial court, but also maintain an advantage in negotiations." Zheng Zhen is also a person who opposes harmony, seeing that Li Ye is also against harmony, in the case of Xiao Yu being targeted, it is better to let King Shou forget it.
"But King Shou is not yet 16, isn't it inappropriate?" Let Li Ye go, Li Yi doesn't object, but Li Ye's age is a weakness.
"You can choose a suitable person from Zongzheng Temple to assist King Shou." Zheng Jin replied immediately.
"Your Majesty... Seeing that Li Yi was a little moved, Tian Lingzi was about to oppose but was interrupted by Li Yu, "Since this is the case, let Zongzheng Temple Shaoqing Li Yue go to assist King Shou." King Shou, the matter of receiving the Nanzhao delegation will be handed over to you, first put down the matter of your alchemy, and handle the matter I handed over to you, and I will definitely reward you at that time. ”
Li Ye didn't expect that he didn't take the initiative to ask for this position, but at Zheng Jin's suggestion, Li Yi gave it to himself. Although he is only responsible for receiving the Nanzhao Division, it does not mean that he can decide whether to be friendly or not.
Despite this, Li Ye still gladly accepted the appointment, "Brother Chen's order!" ”
Seeing that the wood was already in the boat, Tian Lingzi on the side had an ugly face, but it was not aimed at Li Ye, but at Zheng Jin. In the face of Tian Lingzi's hatred, Zheng Ji didn't care, if he compromised because of the other party's hatred, this was not his style of doing things.
。。。。。。
When Yang Qiqiu and his entourage set out from Yang Tho (ju) and mie (mie) city, there were about 300 people, including more than 200 soldiers, as the escort of the mission, because they came to welcome relatives, they naturally had to carry a large number of dowry. In the territory of Nanzhao, this guard force is naturally enough, but to enter the Tang realm, and knowing that there is still a rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the Huichuan Governor's Office has increased its troops, so that the entire team has reached more than 500 people.
I don't know if the Nanzhao mission counted the days before they came, but when they arrived in Chengdu Mansion, it happened to be the 24th day of the lunar month.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the DPRK and China naturally have no time to deal with the Nanzhao Mission, and the matter of peace will only be put on the agenda after the New Year. Although he was dissatisfied with Nanzhao choosing such a day to arrive in Chengdu, Li Ye, who was the reception of Nanzhao's mission, still had to go to greet him.
Although the Tang Dynasty was weakened at this time, it was also the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and at least its prestige could not be lost, so Li Ye directly transferred cavalry from the Tiance Army to Shuangliu to escort the Nanzhao delegation to Chengdu.
Li Ye attaches great importance to the appearance of the army, if an army is not even neat, it is not worthy of being a strong army. Although the Tiance Army is still far from the elite division, it must be ordered and prohibited, which is the most basic necessary condition for being an elite division.
The cavalry was used as an assault force under Li Ye, with excellent horses, luxurious equipment, and neat military appearance, which left a deep impression on the Nanzhao delegation and his party.
"This Tang army is not bad, although the number is not large, but the combat effectiveness does not seem to be bad. This is the gap between our two countries, Nanzhao is too small, the population is also small, less than one-tenth of the Tang people, in the previous war, we were the strength of the country, and the Tang people only relied on the strength of the east and west Erchuan to defeat us. Yang Qiqiu in the carriage lifted the curtains and looked at the Tiance army riding on horseback at the outermost part of the mission, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Is Yang Buxie too ambitious for others and destroys his own prestige? Although the Tang people have a large country, they are now in the midst of civil strife, and it is only in this Xichuan land that there are rebellions from time to time. It can be seen that the Tang people have no way to govern the country and waste this fertile land, this is the opportunity for my Nanzhao, if Yang Buxie does not kill Guo Qi and others, with them, maybe this Shu land is Nanzhao's. Next to the carriage, a young man in armor said dissatisfiedly.
