The three-story hall of the diligent government building was burned warm like spring by the brazier hidden in the dark, so everyone only wore regular clothes, plus hot wine and hot food, where would you remember that it was already a cold winter outside the building.

But just a few words from Liao Liao, these people's drunkenness disappeared, and everyone had a chilling coolness, "whooshing" straight to their backs, the so-called "companion like a tiger" is nothing more than that.

Only Liu Ji still looked unhurried, because he knew that Li Longji chose to say it in this way at this time, not for the purpose of punishing the crime, but for curiosity.

"Your Majesty, the capital to destroy the country, not to mention buying a mansion, it is a fang market, and it is more than enough to build a Xingqing Palace."

Liu Ji arched his hand and said: "Kechen has the courage to use it to buy another thing and present it to His Majesty, I believe that I can even get the pleasure of the Sacred Heart." ”

"Oh, what is it? Did you bring it? ”

"Brought, before March, it was presented to His Majesty's desk, that is, to extinguish Tibet, so that Zhangxiong, Nepal and other countries were attached, Nanzhao came to descend, and Tianzhu countries entered the Hajj!"

Liu Ji's voice was subdued, sonorous, and powerful, and with his handsome and upright posture, even Li Longji couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.

"Are you saying that this victory was bought?"

"The minister does not dare to deceive His Majesty, it is true."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, Ge Shuhan was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that this son was so bold, Feng Changqing's hands and feet were cold, he didn't expect him to say this, and Cheng Qianli took the case and scolded with his halberd.

"A bunch of nonsense, the ministers are bold, please ask Your Majesty to punish him for the crime of false words, otherwise, where will I sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Longji showed a playful look.

"Colliers, you know what to do."

"The old slave understands." Gao Lishi said to Cheng Qianli: "General Cheng, please sit down and punish yourself for a drink, Your Majesty did not consult you, please don't interject at will." ”

Cheng Qianli sat down and drank a cup honestly, still a little unconvinced.

"You, the three festival envoys, it's better to be a Guoyi Du Wei Xiaoshi, I have said, today is not a political discussion, just chatter, the speaker is not guilty, he has done a good job, what do you say, what about you, all of them are old and serious, who do you do?"

"The ministers are guilty."

The three of them apologized together, but they didn't think so.

Ge Shuhan replied with a smile: "The minister is old, say something that is not acceptable, old and careful, how dare he be like him, young heart." ”

"This is true, as soon as people are old, they have the burden of family background, and they are worried, and I am the same as you, so when I see his appearance, I think of the past, and your brother Shuhan also spoke out, there are not many such people in the court."

Li Longji sighed with emotion, and everyone also pretended to be relaxed, and laughed a few words with him, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little relaxed.

"But Cheng Qing's words are not unreasonable, if wealth can buy victory, with my Tang national strength, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?"

"Of course, Datang is invincible in the world, and the minister has no doubt."

Liu Ji said: "What Cheng Zhongcheng said is appropriate, the minister does not dare to agree, I am a Tang soldier, throwing his head and spilling blood, in order to expand the territory and serve His Majesty the king, who dares to say that it is not worth it?" However, what the minister said was another matter, he didn't understand, so he would go in the opposite direction, and his fallacy was only a thousand miles. ”

Cheng Qianli was angry at Liu Ji's blatant use of his name to ridicule him, but he was helpless, so he had to stare at him with a pair of copper bell-like eyes to see what flowers could come out of his mouth.

"Okay, your mouth, it must be a family history, and you won't be forgiving if you have it."

Li Longji waved his hand: "Tell me about your opinions, I listen to it fresh." ”

"The minister said bluntly, the gift that the minister said is not a lie, it is as remote as a country of Nepal, with a radius of three thousand miles, a population of more than one million, tens of thousands of victorious soldiers, and the backing of the Tibetan people, if it is a crusade, don't say that I only have more than 10,000 people in Anxi Town, even if the Helong army is complete, it is not an easy task, right?"

"Kechen came to this country alone, and used the wealth of the whole country to move the people of Zhongshan to rise up, first take its capital, and then sweep the surrounding area, and it didn't cost more than a month, and then this country was under the command of the Tang Dynasty, this victory, saying that it was bought, is it wrong?"

"Zhangxiong is a thousand-year-old country, longer than the history of the Tibetan people, its country is ruled by the queen, and the Tubo people have a tooth and mouth to rely on, the capital is built on the mountain, its momentum is like an eagle with wings, and the rival is absolutely impossible."

Among the people, Feng Changqing, who is familiar with the inside story, first came back to his senses, the Son of Heaven did it intentionally or unintentionally, and Liu Ji listened intentionally and intentionally, all of them were for the same purpose, to explain the whereabouts of those property, and in front of these people, he had an explanation to the Son of Heaven, even if this matter really passed, the Son of Heaven really didn't want to have anything extraneous when he won the big victory, but he never wanted to be fooled casually, so there was this strange banquet today.

"It seems that such a big country, how can it be shaken by an army of 10,000 people, but this country and Tubo are not one, the minister and his lord agreed, take some cities, wealth, children to Xiangxiong, land, population to my Tang Dynasty, so there is this merit, the minister said that it was bought, is it wrong?"

Speaking of this, Feng Changqing was completely relieved, Liu Ji explained the two questions in one sentence, which was reasonable, and even Li Longji had a smile in his eyes, because this was the only reasonable explanation, otherwise it could only be attributed to fantasy.

"No wonder, in some cities, the Tubo people were slaughtered, but the property did not know what to do, it turned out to be done by the Xiangxiong people, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers did not participate, is this what it means?"

"In this matter, the minister can guarantee with his life, the minister was in the city at the time, and there were only three Tang soldiers in the city, including the ministers, even if they had the heart, they were powerless, and Feng Zhongcheng and Cheng Zhongcheng were all latecomers, and they could testify for the ministers."

Feng Changqing replied with one hand: "What Liu Ji said, the minister can testify, and when the soldiers and horses led by the minister arrived at the city of Luoqi, it was already empty. ”

Li Longji looked at Cheng Qianli, and the latter gave up his hand helplessly: "As Feng Shuai said, what the minister saw at that time was also the same. ”

"It's unbelievable, if it weren't for the two Qing families as a guarantor, I wouldn't have dared to believe that a war to destroy the country could still be fought like this."

"It's just that although this plan is wonderful, it also requires people with great wisdom and courage to be competent."

Li Longji looked at Liu Ji and said, "Then presumably the disappearance of the queen of the Tubo people is also the cause of the Zhangxiong people?" ”

"There is another hidden reason in this matter, I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers someone?"

"Who?"

"Princess Jincheng."

Liu Ji said in a flat tone.
