"Didn't the prime minister already tell me," Gu Qing asked knowingly.

"Go back to the Hou Ye." This general of Goguryeo explained in a whisper, "Now the situation in Goguryeo is complicated, and some words can only be said alone with the Hou Ye. ”

Gu Qing distanced himself from this Goguryeo prime minister and said to the general, "Now he can't hear it, you can say it." ”

"Yes!" General Pi said, "Now that our king of Goguryeo is acting in a wayless way, causing trouble to the people of Goguryeo, I also ask the Hou Ye to make a statement to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, General Yuangai Suwen is ready to overthrow the old royal family and support the new king, if the Hou Ye is willing to help Goguryeo, there will be heavy gratitude." ”

"I see." Gu Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have my own considerations." ”

After saying a few words, Gu Qing said goodbye to the two Goguryeo people, it seems that Yuangai Suwen is ambitious, and the Goguryeo royal family also understands the thoughts.

Li Zhi walked out and said, "Gu Qing, what did they say to you?" ”

"Neither of those men was telling the truth." Gu Qing smiled, "So I didn't give them any real promises." ”

"Then should we send troops to support Goguryeo?" Li Zhi asked again.

"What's your business?" Gu Qing took a folding fan and knocked on Li Zhi's forehead.

"It's none of my business." Li Zhi pestered Gu Qing, "You tell me, what did the Goguryeo people say." ”

Gu Qing sat down and tasted tea, "Mother-in-law said that mother-in-law is reasonable, and the public says that the public is reasonable!" Those two Goguryeo guys look like each other, Goguryeo's current situation is like Cao Cao and Liu Xie, Yuangai Suwen wants to control Goguryeo, hoping that the king of Goguryeo can give up the throne, and if he doesn't let it out, he will have to do it, and the king of Goguryeo hopes that Yuangai Suwen can take the initiative to die. ”

"What are we going to do?" asked Li Zhi.

"Actually, Goguryeo's forces are very weak." Gu Qing said slowly, "Their weapons are not as powerful as ours, and the population is not as large as ours, and now they are indistinguishable from each other with their bare hands, if you hand them a knife at this time......

"I see!" Li Zhi had a flash of inspiration, "Let's give the Goguryeo royal family a knife." ”

"Wrong!" Gu Qing looked at Li Zhi, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin still thinks too one-sidedly, give the Goryeo royal family a knife, wait to destroy Yuangai Suwen and then pacify the entire Goguryeo, what else is there to do with us." ”

Li Zhi thought, "Then none of us will help"

"His Royal Highness King Jin, you are wrong again." Gu Qing said again, "Actually, these two people, each of us has to help!" Give each of them a knife, let them kill the sky and the earth, the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, and once Goguryeo is in chaos, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

Li Zhi nodded seriously, and then looked at Gu Qing again.

"Why is His Royal Highness King Jin looking at me like this?" Gu Qing fiddled with the folding fan in his hand.

"I'm adoring you!" Li Zhi looked at Gu Qing.

"Ahem...... Gu Qing straightened his clothes and straightened up, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, please worship with respect." ”

"Humph!" Li Zhi snorted coldly and peeled the walnuts in his hand, "Stinky shameless!" ”

Li Chengqian sat in the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji, knowing that the envoy of Goguryeo had gone to see Gu Qing, and had seen Gu Qing as an envoy of the Wa Kingdom for the first time, he really didn't have the heart to listen, and was distressed, "This Gu Qing is just messing around." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled helplessly, "Gu Qing's many actions are often incomprehensible, sometimes he just does it rashly, sometimes there is always some truth in what he does, and the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go to listen today." ”

Li Chengqian looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a strange face, and didn't know what to say for a while.

On the third day after Gu Qing met with the envoys of various countries, the envoys of Nanzhao came and came to Gu's house, which was furnished with novelty, and the envoys of Nanzhao bowed down and saluted Gu Qing, "I've seen Lord Hou." ”

"You're welcome, please get up." Gu Qing smiled and said, "I don't know what Nan Zhao wants when he comes to congratulate him this time." ”

"Xia Guo hopes that our students from Nanzhao can enter the first university in the Tang Dynasty." The envoy of Nanzhao directly said the intention.

Gu Qing looked at this cold Nanzhao envoy, "Is your Nanzhao's rice three crops a year?"

The envoy of Nanzhao said, "Our Nanzhao's grain can be harvested twice a year, and the harvest will be much less in the third season, and the Hou Ye is interested in our rice."

In fact, the small country of Nanzhao is of little value, and most of the residents of Nanzhao are in the deep forest, compared to the vastness of Guanzhong, Nanzhao in this era is still relatively backward, Gu Qing looked at him, "Your Nanzhao has not paid much tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year, as the old saying goes, good gifts are light and affectionate, and we have always seen your loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, but we hope that you can increase your tribute to the Tang Dynasty." ”

"But Nanzhao is barren...... Nanzhao envoy's face is difficult.

"You Nanzhao have a lot of food." Gu Qing walked to the side of this Nanzhao envoy, "How much grain does your Nanzhao have in a year?" ”

The envoy of Nanzhao calculated in his heart, "If you can add the grain of other tribes to gather a season of sunshine and good rain, according to the weights and measures of the Tang Dynasty, there will be 500,000 stones." ”

"500,000 stones! One season" Gu Qing thought in his heart, "You brag." ”

"Dare to ask Lord Hou, why are you bragging" The envoy of Nanzhao was puzzled again.

"It's kind of a big talk." Gu Qing touched his nose stupidly, "Let me ask you again, there are really 500,000 stones, and with the population of your Nanzhao, there is so much food that you can't eat it all." ”

The Nanzhao envoy continued, "There are actually many places in the Nanzhao area where rice can be grown, but many of the people of Nanzhao are self-sufficient, but the Nanzhao people will not starve, and a lot of grain will be left in surplus in the fields and not taken care of, anyway, it is enough to eat." ”

"That's it." Gu Qing had an idea in his heart, "No matter whether you have 500,000 stone for a season of rice, you will be exempted from paying tribute every year, but you will give Datang 1 million stone of grain every year!" ”

"One million stones" Nanzhao's envoy hesitated again.

"If according to your estimates, there are 500,000 stones of rice in one season, and one million stones in three seasons a year, it shouldn't be too much, as long as your people in Nanzhao can farm diligently, it will not be a loss for you, and you don't have to worry about the annual tribute, anyway, the most in your Nanzhao is rice."

"Actually, we have a lot of bananas in Nanzhao." The envoy of Nanzhao said.

"That thing can be taken with you." Gu Qing thought in his heart, if Nanzhao became the granary of the Tang Dynasty, even if there was a disaster in Guanzhong, there would be a big granary of Nanzhao to support it.

"Master Hou, the matter of our Nanzhao students ......" The Nanzhao envoy hesitated again.

"Yes, yes." Gu Qing replied, "It's just that if you Nanzhao students want to enter the first school in the Tang Dynasty, but there is a requirement, your Nanzhao students who enter the Tang Academy must also enter the Tang Dynasty, and from now on they will be Tang people, as for whether they will return to Nanzhao in the future, we will arrange it." ”
