Li Jiancheng saw that Li Wenyuan was very polite to him, and he didn't put on any show, so he also wanted to say a few polite words. But I am afraid that there will be a slight weakness in my words, which will make Li Wenyuan look down on him. So after some struggle, he said to Li Wenyuan: "Li Jiancheng, the envoy of the Great Sui, was ordered to go to the Western Regions to meet His Royal Highness the King of Tang. ”

Li Jiancheng's words sounded very polite, but there was a soft nail hidden in his words: he claimed to be an envoy of the Great Sui, and he came to meet Li Wenyuan, the king of Tang, and the implication was that the Great Sui I served was orthodox, and the emperor supported by Li Wenyuan was just a puppet, a puppet, a puppet, and there was no legal rationality at all.

After Li Wenyuan heard this, he squinted his eyes and still maintained a polite smile. For this matter, he naturally does not have to go out in person. If he stood up and spoke, he would undoubtedly fall behind in terms of energy. Naturally, there will be people next to you to talk about this, and I just need to wait here.

Sure enough, a minister next to him snorted coldly and said to Li Jiancheng: "Hmph." There is only one Great Sui in this world, and there is only one emperor in Great Sui. I don't know where the Great Sui that your envoy said came from? ”

After Li Jiancheng listened to the minister's words, he naturally refused to be overwhelmed by the minister in words. So he still said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Jiancheng doesn't understand the meaning of the words in this big man's mouth, there is naturally only one Great Sui in this world, and there is naturally only one emperor in Great Sui, that is, His Majesty the Emperor who is still sitting firmly on the throne in the capital of Chang'an." In addition, could it be said that there is a second Great Sui Emperor in this world? This lord must not laugh, if this sentence is a few words in private, it will not be in the way, but if it is said on such an occasion, wouldn't it be laughable and generous? ”

"What you said is not true, we have all heard that the person in the Chang'an Palace is just a puppet emperor who is threatened to ascend the throne, in fact, the military and political power in the court has fallen to Li Yuan, the father of the noble envoy, early on. It's a pity that Li Yuankong has the strategy of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but he lacks the momentum of Cao Gong, and in the end, he can't become an anti-dog, which is really ridiculous and generous. It was about the legitimacy of the emperor he was meeting with, so the minister did not back down on this topic and went toe-to-toe with Li Jiancheng.

"My lord's words are indeed true, the military and political power falls on my father, and it is just because the emperor is young and unable to deal with the affairs of the court, so he was ordered to carry the banner of the Great Sui. Could it be that Li Jianguo didn't do this? If you really want to talk about the rumors in the court, you might as well let Jiancheng also tell you that there are rumors about the Western Regions in Chang'an City. It is rumored that Li Jianguo spent great effort and price to invite Empress Xiao to the Western Regions and lived in this Dunhuang city. It is said that Empress Xiao sneaked out of the back door of the palace every night, came to the prison state's mansion after disguise, and talked secretly with the prison country all night. And it is said that they often stay in the prison country's mansion until the next day, I wonder what kind of thing made the two of them discuss for so long, and do not shy away from rumors of a meeting between men and women under the moon? This is also a place where the construction is particularly confused, and I ask this adult to explain it well for the completion of the building. Listening to the minister's words that revealed the words attacking his father, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, so he lied and simply made up some so-called rumors to question the adult in front of him who couldn't get along with him everywhere.

Sure enough, the adult was choked speechless by Li Jiancheng's sudden words, and seeing that this good show against Mai Mang was about to end with this as the failure of the adult, at this time Li Wenyuan stood up and said: "The rumors in the market come and go like the wind, and they can't be counted. What's more, you are a guest from afar, Lord Zhang, you have gone too far, and you should apologize to your envoy soon. ”

Although this Master Zhang was reprimanded by Li Wenyuan, judging from the experience accumulated in observing Li Wenyuan's words and expressions on weekdays, Li Wenyuan was still very satisfied with himself. So at this time, he came down the steps and said to Li Jiancheng: "It's because I'm a little stupid, I would believe those rumors in the market, and I hope that the envoy should not worry about it." ”

What kind of person is Li Jiancheng? In the future, after Li Yuan becomes emperor, he will be the undoubted candidate for the crown prince, and after a hundred years of Li Yuan, he will be the new emperor, how can he be a minister of the Western Regions at this time? So he also waved his hand, indicating that he would not take this matter too seriously. Then I could only hear Li Wenyuan in front of him say: "What is the matter of your envoy coming this time?" Please also make a statement, don't have any reservations, so as not to have misunderstandings in the future. ”

Li Jiancheng saw that he finally began to get to the point, so he sorted out his thoughts, and then said to Li Wenyuan: "I have long heard that the musketeers in the Western Regions are brave in battle, and their combat power is superb, and they are all warriors who can be used as ten. And you can use the sharpness of the musket to compete with those barbarians on the grassland, and it has been a long-term friendship in my heart, and it happened that in recent days, some Hu cavalry took advantage of the chaos in the Liang division to continue to attack the land and people of our Great Sui, but I have to admit that our army has not found a suitable way to resist the southern invasion of these Hu people so far. So in desperation, we thought that there was such an army armed with muskets under your command, His Royal Highness the Tang King. They have always had miraculous results against the Turks, so they want to buy some weapons from His Royal Highness the Tang King to arm our own army. It is good to deal with the southern invasion of the Hu people and ensure the safety of the people on one side. However, I am afraid that the purchase of a large number of muskets will make the army under your command become less ordnance, so I would like to discuss with you whether we can send students to your territory to learn the technology of making gunpowder? When the time comes, we will build our own weapons to resist the invasion of the Hu people, so that we can also ensure the safety of the people. ”

Li Jiancheng's words were very clever, on the one hand, it was pointed out that it was because of the war between Li Wenyuan and Liang Shidu, which caused the cavalry of the Hu people to come and go freely through the territory of Liang Shidu, thus disturbing Li Yuan's territory, so in the final analysis, the main responsibility for this part is on Li Wenyuan, after all, if he does not start a war, then there will naturally be no such thing.
