Chapter 224: Face Saint
Cui Zhongxiu was speechless after hearing this, but Li Zhen grabbed the reins and refused to relax the slightest, no matter how he begged Li Zhen to always put on a natural posture, so that Cui Zhongxiu realized for the first time that the word "respect" does not seem to be good. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Facing the constant gaze of the courtiers, Cui Zhongxiu finally flicked his sleeves and trotted forward with indignation, not far away Li Chengjiu couldn't help but smile more and more proudly when he looked at Cui Zhongxiu so embarrassed, only Suo Tu seemed to ignore this, muttering something in his mouth.
Li Chengjiu's gaze gradually shifted from Cui Zhongxiu's body to the thin figure, looking at the thin young man's surprised appearance, Li Chengjiu suddenly had a chilling illusion in his heart, although it was fleeting, but it still made him suddenly sweat coldly.
At this moment, Li Chengjiu found that the young man's gaze suddenly looked at him, Li Chengjiu immediately regained his composure, and politely bowed slightly to the young man, but the young man grinned at him, smiling brightly, but Li Chengjiu's heart couldn't help but froze.
"He is the Tang envoy who never showed up?" After a long time, Li Chengjiu came back to his senses and turned to ask a Honglu Temple official beside him.
"Yes, his name is Li Zhen, the word Zeyuan, Ren Youzhou marching Sima, this time the four clans alliance army attacked the Tang Dynasty, and he was appointed as General Fuyuan!" The official next to him replied respectfully.
Li Chengjiu nodded and muttered to himself: "The afterlife is terrifying!" ”
"Zeyuan, do you know that person?" Seeing this, Gao Yu also leaned over to Li Zhen's ear and asked in a low voice.
"I don't recognize it! But I know that he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Chengjiu," Li Zhen said with a smile.
"Oh? Why? Gao Yu said in surprise.
"Hehe, everyone was surprised that he laughed alone, and he was the only one who dared to blatantly look at Cui Zhongxiu's jokes! And his laughter...... Don't you feel like me? ”
......
After being inspected by Jin Wuwei in front of the palace, the ministers entered the hall, and Li Zhen and Gao Biao waited outside the hall to listen to the announcement.
Today's Dayi Zhen looks no different from the past, at least on the surface, there is no difference, I saw him look around at the ministers, and said indifferently: "Yesterday, I heard that the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to our country, I don't know where the envoy is now?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty are making an edict outside the palace!" Li Chengjiu immediately replied.
Da Yi Zhen nodded and asked softly: "It is said that this envoy of the Tang Dynasty has no national letter and no will of the Tang Emperor, so he only brought an edict here, what do the ministers think?" ”
After saying that, Da Yizhen glanced at Cui Zhongxiu, but saw that he was silent, and he didn't seem to mean to speak.
After hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but talk about it, according to the etiquette system, if there is no national letter and no holy decree, it is not a formal envoy, just a verbal edict is equivalent to empty words, and the other country has every reason not to receive it, if it is changed to any other country, Da Yi Zhen may not even go to see it.
But at this time, it is different, the other party is a genuine Tang Dynasty general, and he shoulders the mission of the Tang Dynasty to suppress chaos, and he can't turn a blind eye to the public and private, and the big Yi Zhen can't turn a blind eye, if he offends the Tang Dynasty because of such a trivial matter, this consequence is not something that the Bohai Kingdom, a small land, can afford.
"That's it! I let you express your opinions, but I don't listen to you here! After Da Yi Zhen said, he turned to look at Cui Zhongxiu and said, "I don't know what Cui Xiang thinks?" ”
After Cui Zhongxiu heard this, he thought for a while and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, in fact, it is not difficult to guess that at this time, Datang is facing the difficulties of the alliance of the four clans, and this Li Zhen is on the mission of sneaking out of the customs to attack, and he must have come here at this time to ask my country to send troops!" ”
"Hehe, Cui Xiang and I have the same thoughts in our hearts, but I don't know how Cui Xiang thinks we should decide?" Da Yi Zhen smiled and then asked.
Cui Zhongxiu replied: "The minister thinks that it is better to meet the envoy first and then make a decision!" ”
"Hahaha! Good! Since this is the case, then the envoys of the Tang Dynasty will be present! Da Yi Zhen laughed.
Shao leaned, only to see Li Zhen and Gao Biao slowly entering, and after saluting Da Yi Zhen, Da Yi Zhen asked Li Zhen: "Your name is Li Zhen?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it is the foreign minister!" Li Zhen bowed and replied.
"There is neither a national letter nor a decree of the Tang Emperor, why do you want me to believe you?" Da Yi Zhen asked unceremoniously.
Li Zhen smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Presumably, Your Majesty also knows about the alliance of the four feudatories attacking my Tang Dynasty, so ......"
"So how?" Seeing that Li Zhen wanted to speak and stopped, Dayi Zhen asked.
"So the minister has a few limericks!"
"Oh? Oh, then groan! ”
I saw Li Zhen think about it for a while, and said slowly: "The icing on the cake is there in the world, but there is no charcoal in the snow." When it comes easily, it is easy to get a thousand taels of gold, and it is difficult to transport a pot of wine on credit. It is a sigh that the relatives and friends in front of him, who are willing to help in a hurry. ”
After hearing this, Dayi looked at the ministers, and then smiled: "It's gone? ”
"It's gone!" Li Zhen said with a smile.
"Hahaha! What a icing on the cake is in the world, and there is nothing in the world to send charcoal in the snow! I know what you mean, but I'm afraid that if I send you charcoal in this compartment, I will set myself on fire! Da Yi Zhen laughed.
After speaking, I saw Da Yi Zhen ask the ministers, "I don't know what you think?" ”
After hearing this, the ministers hurriedly called "Shengming", but Cui Zhongxiu was the only one who still didn't say a word and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Cui Xiang, why don't you speak?" Da Yi Zhen turned to Cui Zhongxiu and asked.
"Your Majesty, the ministers think that this matter is very important, and it is necessary for the ministers to discuss before making a decision!" Choi Joong-so replied softly.
Obviously, he didn't notice the anger that flashed in Da Yi Zhen's eyes at this time, "Well, what Cui Xiang said is reasonable, and I will make a decision on this matter after I discuss it with the ministers!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, because of the mission of the foreign minister, I can only stay in your country for two days, and I hope Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible!" Li Zhen bowed and replied.
After hearing this, Da Yi Zhen nodded and replied, "I will give you an answer within two days, you should go back to the post house to rest first!" ”
After walking out of the main hall, Gao Biao couldn't help complaining: "That Cui Zhongxiu doesn't seem to have been fooled!" What Fang said in the palace just now is equivalent to not saying it! ”
Li Zhen rubbed his chin lightly and said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Qianli, don't be impatient, in my opinion, he is already on our side!" ”
"Oh? Why? Gao Yu said in surprise.
"At least he didn't say anything against it, now that we've won half of it, the remaining half will depend on that Lee Seung-jiu! Let's go back and prepare, and meet Da Yi Zhen tonight! Li Zhen smiled.
"Great Yi Zhen? How do you know he's meeting us tonight?! Gao Biao asked.
"Hehe, the reason is very simple, Da Yi Zhen wants to know the truth, about the truth between us and Cui Zhongxiu, of course he won't ask Cui Zhongxiu, so naturally he wants to ask us!"
"But what about sending troops? After all, that's our first priority! ”
"Hahaha, don't worry, Da Yi Zhen will definitely send troops!"
