Chapter 214: Marriage
"Bold, why don't you kneel when you see me, the Tang King!"
On the Linhua Palace, an angry roar sounded, and the deputy deacon Guo Yi came out of the crowd, his chubby face was full of irrepressible anger, obviously, if it weren't for the humble and gentlemanly style, he was afraid that he would have already rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to fight with Liu Han's envoys, who were not pleasing to the eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The person wearing a blue jacquard satin robe didn't even look at Guo Yi, and the Tang Emperor on the high hall bent down, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "The ancient sages and monarchs are courteous but not indiscriminate, Yu has never heard of the Holy Lord ordering the courtiers to kneel and bow to each other, is it different in the Tang Dynasty?" ”
"You!"
As soon as these words came out, Guo Yi blushed and couldn't speak, and the rest of the people in the hall were also quite ugly, and the more fiery military attache was about to step forward and smash his big fist in three or two steps.
Above the high hall, Emperor Tang said in a deep voice, "Stop! ”
Emperor Tang had an order, and the hundred officials, who were originally very angry, had to accept their anger, so they had to stare at Liu Han's envoys with resentful eyes.
And the latter didn't seem to care at all about filling the entire court with resentment, and stood there very usually, not shying away from looking at Emperor Tang at all.
"Who are you?"
Hearing Emperor Tang's question, Liu Han's envoy smiled lightly, how could the envoy dish text handed over not state his identity and intention, but when asked again, he said loudly, "Back to the Tang Dynasty, under the order of the Han Dynasty, Hu Ke, this time I came to be ordered by the king of our dynasty, but after many years between the two dynasties, he turned the conflict into jade silk, married the family, and became a good neighbor forever." ”
After saying this, the turmoil in the court broke out again, the courtiers were all red-faced, and those officials ignored the elegant attitude of the scholars who were very concerned about them on weekdays, and they actually scolded loudly, as if they had lost their minds.
Seeing that the hundred officials were like this, Emperor Tang felt even more gloomy, and immediately slapped his hand on the dragon chair, "Shut up!" ”
Thinking that he was angry, Tang Huang coughed for a while, and only his continuous coughing sound could be heard in the quiet hall, and this scene was seen in Hu Ke's eyes, and the essence of light flashed inadvertently.
The head of the hundred officials, Du Zheng, who had been keeping his head closed, took two steps forward, bent down and saluted, "Holy Lord, the old minister thinks that this matter must not be done, Liu Han and I have a long-standing grudge with the Tang Dynasty, even the common people, they all regard the Han people as enemies, if they answer their request, won't it make the court lose face?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Guo Yi stepped forward, "Shengshang, what Lord Du said is very true, Liu Han has always been a wolf's ambition, if Shengshang agrees, not to mention that Princess Lan Jin is deeply trapped in fire and water, it is very likely that he will fall into their conspiracy." ”
The ministers spoke up in unison, "Yes, please also ask the Holy Master, don't listen to the traitor's words." ”
"Haha......"
Among the many words, a burst of laughter was particularly abrupt, and the ministers turned their heads, but saw Hu Ke laughing loudly, as if he had encountered something ridiculous, and almost leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.
"Straight lady thief, Lao Tzu wants to beat you flat!"
A bearded military general roared angrily and rushed forward, grabbing Hu Ke's shirt with his left hand and lifting him up, while his right hand was clenched into a fist.
"Haha......"
There was no fear on his face, Hu Ke still laughed loudly, as if the scene in front of him was the most ridiculous thing.
Emperor Tang roared in a deep voice again, "Stop, above the palace, Hugh is presumptuous!" ”
The military general stubbornly retracted the huge fist that was about to be smashed on Hu Ke's face, looked at Emperor Tang and wanted to say something, but in the end, he let go of his hand angrily, glared at him a few times with Hu Ke's eyes, and then returned to the court.
When Emperor Tang opened his mouth, the court naturally quieted down again, and all the officials pricked up their ears, waiting for his next sentence.
"What are you laughing at?"
Obviously, this is not what the hundred officials want, but the king has already spoken, as a courtier, how dare he interrupt rashly, even the officials who like to risk death to admonish, they hesitated a little, after all, until now they still don't know what the Tang Emperor's attitude towards the Han Dynasty envoy is.
Your Royal Highness, Hu Ke ignored the gazes that looked at him, straightened his messy clothes by himself, and then said slowly, "King Tang is really generous, and the court is like this, which really opened his eyes." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Tang's ministers on the side were angry again, but thinking of the disdain in these words, they had to suppress their anger.
The wide sleeves flicked over, the cuffs of the dragon claws flew, Tang Huang stood up from the dragon chair, stared at Hu Ke and said word by word, "My Tang Dynasty affairs are still not allowed to be pointed at by others, you haven't answered me yet, what were you laughing at just now?" ”
"The reason why I laugh is because the Tang Dynasty has never considered the people."
As soon as the words fell, Guo Yi shouted angrily, "What nonsense! ”
Tang Huang waved his hand, "Let him continue." ”
Hu Ke and Guo Yi shrugged their shoulders, the angry latter trembled, eager to pounce on him and beat him up, naturally, Hu Ke turned his head, who in this court didn't want to peel him to the bones, but since he came, he had already died and died.
If you don't love life and death, why be afraid?
Hu Ke coughed lightly, and said again, "What I said just now is not true, if the Han and the Tang Dynasty are friendly, how can there be disputes?" In the eyes of your lords, you will always remember the hatred between the two dynasties, and if you can't let go of the hatred, the only thing you will end up with is swords. War only displaces the people, and what they want is a stable life, so how can there always be hatred in their hearts? ”
As he spoke, Hu Ke glanced coldly at Li Tangchen, "Take a step back and say, if the people are always related in their hearts, they will have hatred in life, and they will die without turning a blind eye, isn't this the fault of those who enjoy the temple in a high position?" ”
"Nonsense!"
Du Zheng, who has been in charge for many years, and has always been easy-going, can't help but be furious, you must know that Hu Ke's words just now not only slandered the blood he has worked hard for many years, but also desecrated the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Smack!"
When the ministers were indignant again, Emperor Tang kicked the table in front of him off the high platform, and the pear flower case rolled straight down the white jade steps and scattered in His Highness.
"The Tang Dynasty is my Tang Dynasty, and the hundred officials are my hundred officials, where can you, an outsider, talk nonsense here! You give me to go back to Chang'an immediately, and tell Liu Si that if you want to fight, you will fight, and I will never let my daughter give you humiliation! ”
As soon as the Tang Emperor was angry, Hu Ke knew that his Li Tang trip had ended, and he had successfully completed his mission.
After getting the desired result, Hu Ke bent down and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw a slender figure entering the main hall.
The person who came was Li Mengxiao, who was dressed in plain clothes.
The officials were all shocked when they saw Li Mengxiao, the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty did not allow women to enter the court, that is, to prevent foreign relatives from gaining power, especially in the chaos of the Wu family, and the court could not tolerate the appearance of women.
Therefore, at this moment, seeing Li Mengxiao breaking into the court, the hundred officials were naturally surprised, and several officials who had always respected the ancestral training in their minds wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were stopped by their colleagues beside them.
Even if the saint doesn't like to kill on weekdays, at this moment, if he says more, it is very likely to cause death, not to mention that it is about Princess Lan Jin, it is better to listen to what she plans to be selected.
After entering the main hall, Li Mengxiao knelt on his knees with a puff, "Father, my son-in-law asks you to agree to this family business!" ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and both the Tang Emperor, the courtiers, and Hu Ke, who was already preparing to return home, were shocked.
As if he didn't believe his ears, Emperor Tang stepped forward and walked a few steps, "Xiao'er, what are you talking about?" ”
He was already crying with pear blossoms and rain on his face, Li Mengxiao bit his lip and said again, "The son asked his father to agree to this family affair......"
"No way!"
Emperor Tang roared in disbelief, his eyes widened, and his chest continued to heav, panting.
But Li Mengxiao was already resolute, and actually took out a dagger from his sleeve and put it on his neck, "Father's love for Lan Jin understands that Lan Jin, as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, has enjoyed many years of glory and wealth, and it is time to do something for the Tang Dynasty......"
As he spoke, Li Mengxiao tearfully said the request for the third time, "Father, should you answer such a family matter......?"
Looking at the cold light on the dagger, Tang Huang only felt that his heart was dripping blood, and he didn't feel that Li Mengxiao's young appearance flashed in his mind, and suddenly felt that there was a buzzing sound in his ears, and the whole person looked pale and powerless.
With Zhang Lishi's support, Emperor Tang slowly sat on the dragon chair, looking haggard, and nodded weakly in the shouts of the courtiers, "Silly boy, I am dependent on you." ”
"Holy Lord, never ......"
Seeing that Emperor Tang nodded, all the officials burst into tears in a panic, knelt on the ground, and shouted unspeakable.
Tears continued to wet her emaciated cheeks, Li Mengxiao took a deep breath, and cried with the ministers, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't embarrass your father, Lan Jin, as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, can do something for the Tang Dynasty, this life is enough, and I hope you will be successful!" ”
'Poof! ’
Even Hu Ke was quite shocked, as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, Li Mengxiao, with golden branches and jade leaves, actually knelt down to the civil and military officials in the court.
"Princess, I can't help it, do you know that if you go, you will fall into a state of no return, and it will not even benefit Datang at all......"
Tears slipped down his eyes, and Du Zheng walked forward tremblingly, wanting to help Li Mengxiao up.
Shaking his head, Li Mengxiao showed a poignant smile, "Master Du, even if it is a slight opportunity, as long as you do your best, there will always be hope, at least Datang needs a while, isn't it?" ”
Hearing this, Du Zheng was powerless to refute.
The palace change really hurt the vitality of the Tang Dynasty, the Tanglin King, who was a virtuous and wise man, was destined to die, and the Tang Emperor was not healed, and the Western Han Dynasty attacked at this time, which can be said to put the entire court in a state of internal and external troubles.
Liu Han's intention to propose relatives this time is obvious, Du Zheng has been an official for many years, how can he not see that Liu Han's army has begun to hoard in Wujiang, and has accumulated grievances for many years, Liu Si expected that the Tang Emperor would refuse to do family affairs, so it was nothing more than a war tongue.
But this time, it hurt Princess Lan Jin.
"You don't need to say more, this matter is decided, Xun Hong, your Ministry of Rites is fully responsible......"
Emperor Tang's words were too old to stop, and Xun Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was unwilling, but he had to respond hard.
"Father, the son has another request, can you ask Liu Xi to escort the son there?"
"That's right."
Without thinking, Emperor Tang responded, and the courtiers forgot about the previous thing that wanted to put Liu Xi to death, and they all stopped speaking.
Escorting Princess Lan Jin to Liu Han is extremely dangerous, life and death can only depend on God, this time, what else is there to say?
A happy smile appeared on the face of the crying flower, Li Mengxiao hurriedly thanked him, and this scene fell into Hu Ke's eyes, and he couldn't help but secretly keep a thought.
In the future, I have to find out what kind of character this Liu Xi is.
