Just as Li Er was about to agree to the request of the Goguryeo envoy, Wang Yuan would accept the platinum that Goguryeo had given him.

An attendant trotted over and saluted, "Everyone! Chu Suiliang, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, is asking to see him outside!"

"How did he come! Xuan!" Li Er didn't think much about it, so he asked the chamberlain to bring Chu Suiliang over.

"No!" The waiter was ordered to retreat and led Chu Suiliang, who was waiting outside, in.

Because Chu Suiliang came to see Li Er at this time, Li Er did not accept the platinum of Goguryeo's tribute for the time being.

Before Bai Jin arrived and handed it over to Wang Yuan, the inner chamberlain, Li Er had not agreed to the envoy's request, so the Goguryeo envoy had to retreat to the side, and wait for Li Er to deal with the political affairs before talking about the matter between them.

"Minister, Chu Suiliang, see Your Majesty!" Chu Suiliang saluted, and when he saw that Li Er had not yet accepted Goguryeo's tribute, he breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he caught up.

"What did Aiqing come to see me for?" Li Er asked.

With Chu Suiliang's character, if there was nothing to do, he would not go to the emperor to visit the emperor at will.

"Your Majesty! The minister heard that the envoy of Quangai Suwen came to pay tribute to His Majesty, but is there such a thing? Chu Suiliang asked.

When Chu Suiliang asked Li Er, the Goguryeo envoy asked the Honglu Temple beside him about Chu Suiliang's identity.

"That's right! The messenger is at your side!" Li Er stretched out his hand and pointed to the messenger next to him.

Chu Suiliang glanced back, and when the messenger saw Chu Suiliang's view, he hurriedly saluted.

Eyes returned to Li Er, Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty! The ministers have come today to prevent you from receiving tribute. ”

As soon as Chu Suiliang's words fell, Li Er was a little dissatisfied in his heart, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, what was the problem with accepting a tribute from a small country? Why should you Chu Suiliang stop you?

Li Zhi looked at a loss, the Tang Dynasty is a big country, and it is not a normal thing to accept tribute from a small barbarian country, why did Chu Suiliang block it, what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

The envoys of Quangai Suwen jumped directly to their feet, the purpose of their visit this time was to be able to make the Tang Dynasty emperor not send troops to Goguryeo, so they paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty emperor and expressed their submission.

They were not ready to fight the Tang Dynasty, and once the Tang army attacked Goguryeo, they might not be able to defeat the Tang army.

If they are disturbed by the Chu Suiliang in front of them, how can they go back and explain to their Da Mo Lizhi.

Chu Suiliang's next sentence made them fall into an ice cellar, and they were very frightened in their hearts, for fear that Li Er would agree to Chu Suiliang's suggestion, even Li Er and Li Zhi didn't expect Chu Suiliang to say this.

"The minister not only wants to prevent His Majesty from accepting the tribute from Quangai Suwen, but also asks Your Majesty to arrest these people and put them in prison." Chu Suiliang commanded the messenger.

Li Erleng paused for a while, then came back to his senses and asked, "It's too much for you to do this!" ”

"I, Goguryeo, want to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty, and I don't want to see the people of the two countries suffer because of the war, how can you say such a thing, are you ......?"

"Shut up for me, Zi'er small country, you and other barbarians, don't understand etiquette, and dare to talk nonsense in front of my Majesty the Tang Emperor, where is there a place for you to talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty."

Before the envoy's words were finished, he was interrupted by Chu Suiliang, who talked eloquently and reprimanded the envoy, and the messenger was red-faced and did not dare to say anything more.

"That's it! Aiqing, tell me what you think, why did you prevent me from accepting the tribute? Li Er opened his mouth, and finally relieved the siege for the envoy.

"Your Majesty! King Rongliu, who killed his monarch, was not tolerated by Jiuyi, and His Majesty wanted to crusade against him with the army of justice, but now he wanted to accept his tribute. ”

"What is the difference between this and the Song State in the Spring and Autumn Period who destroyed the Gao State and captured Gao Ding, and then feared that the Lu State would send troops to attack the Song State, and gave Gao Ding to the Lu State to bribe Lu Henggong."

"Therefore, the minister cannot accept His Majesty's tribute from Quangai Suwen, and please think twice." Chu Sui is good.

Speaking of Gao Ding, we have to mention the Song and Lu States in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Gao is the vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty, the first monarch is the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, its east is the Lu State, the west is the Cao State, because everyone is surnamed Ji, these three countries are brothers, and they are at peace with each other.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the etiquette collapsed, and the Gao State was weak, so it had to rely on the Song State, and later the Song State sent troops to destroy the Gao State, and moved the national treasure Gao Ding used to worship the temple back to the Song State.

This made Lu Guo unhappy, Gao Guo and Lu Guo are brother countries, you Song Guo didn't even say hello, you said that you would destroy it, and you didn't put it Lu Guo in your eyes at all.

So the state of Lu under the slogan of avenging the country of brothers, united Qi and Zheng to send troops to attack the Song state, and the Song state could not withstand the alliance of the three countries.

Among the three kingdoms, Lu was the strongest, and in order to protect himself, Song gave Gao Ding from Gao to Lu to bribe Lu Henggong and let him withdraw from the army.

Lu Henggong, who got Gao Ding, was full of joy, so he stopped the attack on the Song State and withdrew his troops back to the Lu State, and the Song State was thus freed from the fate of being destroyed.

Through this incident, everyone finally saw Lu Henggong's face clearly, ostensibly for the sake of the brotherly country, but in fact, he was just insatiable, dissatisfied with the benefits of the Song Kingdom and did not share it with him.

In fact, Chu Suiliang was using Lu Henggong's example to warn Li Er not to do something like Lu Henggong.

Once Li Er accepted Quangai Suwen's tribute, it was tantamount to indirectly admitting that Quangai Suwen's behavior of killing the monarch and bullying the people was correct.

In this way, where is there any reason for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to Goguryeo, and the Tang Dynasty will fall from holding high the banner of righteousness to being in the company of the rebellious ministers and thieves who kill the king.

Li Er suddenly woke up, and also felt that what Chu Suiliang said was very reasonable, he raised the banner of justice, and planned to send troops to attack Quangai Suwen, and now if he received his tribute, then he would not become the same as Lu Henggong.

When the time comes, what will the people of the world think of himself, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and if in the future, other small countries affiliated with the Tang Dynasty will follow suit, what should he do?

Therefore, on this issue, Li Er adopted Chu Suiliang's suggestion, firmly and decisively rejected Quangai Suwen's tribute, and continued to send troops to attack Goguryeo.

"Fortunately, Aiqing reminded me, otherwise I would have made a big mistake." Li Er said sincerely.

"This is a matter for the ministers!" Chu Sui is good.

Li Er looked at the Goguryeo envoy and said: "Ru Cao is all serving the king of Rongliu, there are officials, Quangai Su Wen plotted against the king, you can't avenge the king of Rongliu, but now you are helping the rebellious ministers and thieves to lobby and deceive me to the big country, it is a great crime." ”

"Someone!" The guards who heard His Majesty Li Er's call rushed in.

"Take the messenger down and put him in prison!" Li Er ordered.

The guards couldn't help but say, and stepped forward and escorted a group of Goguryeo envoys, no matter how much they struggled and shouted grievances, it was to no avail.
