Chapter 236: Trying to Capture the Past
Da Yi Zhen shook his head, smiling on his face, but the smile had become less natural. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing this, Li Zhen smiled slightly, and then said slowly: "Hehe, Your Majesty Shengming must know the purpose of the foreign envoy's coming!" ”
Da Yi Zhen thought for a while and said, "The envoy means ......"
Da Yi Zhen did not continue, but it was obvious that he still had doubts about Li Zhen's words, because he really couldn't think of any reason for the Tang Emperor to come all the way to help him.
Li Zhen naturally understood what Da Yi Zhen was thinking, and immediately smiled and said: "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to be too confused, in fact, the truth in this is very simple, at the moment the enemies of my Tang Dynasty are the Xi people, the Murwei, the Khitan, and the Uighurs, and looking at the northeast tribes, only your country has the same enemy as our country, and the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, Your Majesty should understand!" ”
"Oh?" Da Yi Zhen smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said: "The envoy's words are inappropriate, after all, it is the next policy to use swords and soldiers, Zeng Yun, a sage of your Han people, went to the army to attack the city, then to attack the enemy, and then to attack the city, even if our country does not succeed in the war, it is always possible to attack the enemy, why do I want to be the enemy of the four clans?" ”
When the words fell, I saw Li Zhen immediately smiled and said: "If you can cut down the diplomatic relations, it is certainly a good policy, but the Bohai Kingdom sits on the richest land in the Northeast, and the four clans are mostly bitter cold lands, even if Your Majesty wants to break the wealth and eliminate disasters, but dare to ask Your Majesty, even if your country is rich, how much money and food do you have to fill the endless appetite of the four clans?" ”
"And when the Bohai Kingdom shows any resistance, how sure is Your Majesty to face the hundreds of thousands of troops of the four clans? And at that time, your country has been under the long-term oppression of the four clans, can the national strength still be as strong as it is today? ”
Saying that, Li Zhen looked at Da Yi Zhen and said slowly: "I think Your Majesty should know more about these problems than the foreign envoy!" ”
When Da Yi Zhen heard this, he immediately fell silent, because he knew very well that Li Zhen's words were not alarmist, and he also knew better what he should do, but in the face of foreign envoys, as the king of a country, he was eager to firmly grasp this initiative in his own hands.
But now it seems that he has lost the opportunity, and he is restricted step by step, step by step.
Li Zhen then smiled and said: "Of course, to be able to obtain the support of your country, this will undoubtedly be a great help to my Datang, to put it mildly, for my Datang, the Northeast can be divided and cannot be gathered, and the Bohai Kingdom and my Datang have always been good friends, because of this, His Majesty of our country ordered foreign envoys to come from thousands of miles to visit!" ”
Da Yi Zhen never said a word, just looked at Li Zhen quietly, as if he wanted to find something from Li Zhen's face.
"Of course, if Your Majesty has other thoughts in his heart, it is inconvenient for the foreign envoy to be reluctant, although the alliance of the four clans is strong, it is only a small trouble for my Tang Dynasty million male soldiers, and it is only a matter of time before this small trouble is solved, so ......"
Li Zhen looked at Da Yi Zhen and smiled, and said: "The foreign envoy just said that he was covering the eyes and ears of the courtiers and the people, but he just didn't want to damage His Majesty's heavenly prestige, hehe, what the foreign envoy should say has been finished, I don't know ...... Your Majesty."
Da Yi Zhen nodded slightly, he seemed to realize that he had made a mistake, and he began to regret that he had not made the decision to send troops before Li Zhen's words came out, because the more Li Zhen spoke, the more passive he became, and he had the opportunity to take the initiative.
Suddenly, Da Yi Zhen felt a trace of worry in his heart, the Li Zhen in front of him seemed to have other unspeakable purposes, because from the facts, there was no need for him to say this matter so thoroughly, for fear that he would have any kind of transparency that he didn't understand, after all, in terms of whether to send troops or not, the Bohai Kingdom was the weakling, and the first victim under the combination of the four clans.
And for Datang, it's really just a small trouble, so it's impossible for anyone with a little brain not to think of this, so it can be seen that Li Zhen may already know what choice he will make.
But he still said so much, so from this point of view, he has only one purpose, that is, to firmly grasp the initiative in his own hands, because only in this way can he be qualified to put forward some conditions to himself.
Thinking of the word "condition", Da Yi Zhen was suddenly shocked in his heart, and a name flashed in his mind: Wuli.
"Yes, his condition must be Uli!" Da Yi Zhen couldn't help but suddenly realize, looking at Li Zhen's slightly smiling face, Da Yi Zhen suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp.
As the king of a country, Da Yi Zhen once compared himself to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and seemed to ignore the government on weekdays, but only he knew that there was nothing in the court that could be hidden from his own ears and eyes, so that he could use the law of control handy, so that the fierceness of the party struggle was not inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty's Nuoda court, and he was governed like an arm, because he had such self-confidence, because he was penetrating the hearts of the people.
But at this moment, Li Zhen's appearance made Da Yi Zhen feel like he was being played with, but he had nothing to do about it, because behind Li Zhen was the Tang Dynasty, a huge empire that he didn't dare to and couldn't offend, even if this empire was no longer as strong as it used to be, but it was still not something that his small Bohai country could look up to.
Li Zhen's face still had that harmless smile on his face, but this smile was so insidious and cunning in the eyes of Da Yi Zhen.
"I ......" for a long time, Da Yi Zhen finally spoke slowly, because he knew what Li Zhen was going to say next, because he didn't want to be led around by this sixteen-year-old boy by the nose.
"I've decided to send troops! But I can only promise you one thing! Da Yi Zhen looked at Li Zhen with a solemn expression.
Li Zhen was shocked after hearing this, obviously he was a little surprised that Da Yi Zhen could react so quickly, because for himself, the real purpose of coming to meet Da Yi Zhen this time had not been said a word.
But Da Yi Zhen was able to quickly see through his mind in the pile of nonsense, which was enough to surprise Li Zhen, and only Li Zhen himself knew that today's plan to capture the old man was an idea that he spent a whole night thinking of, although Da Yi Zhen was successfully fooled, but he was able to quickly realize this, which had to make Li Zhen feel afraid.
But since the two sides had already torn their faces, Li Zhen couldn't hide anything anymore, so he smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty should know what the foreign envoy is asking for!" ”
Hearing this, Dayi Zhen sighed softly, and the previous solemnity on his face was swept away, replaced by a faint smile, "But Wuli? ”
