The envoy sent by Ji Zheng was an attendant who seemed to have reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.

The porter didn't dare to let him enter the mansion without getting an order, so the old chamberlain waited outside with a smile, and when he saw Fang Li, he didn't put on a show, but bent down respectfully, and his face full of ravines was full of respect: "The villain has seen Tang Gong." ”

Fang Li accepted this gift generously, and did not hide his impatience at all: "This father-in-law, what will the Son of Heaven give to the widow?" ”

"The Son of Heaven has a will, after Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the ancestral system, His Majesty will lead the princes in Luo to the suburbs to worship the heavens." The old chamberlain handed over the silk book reluctantly, "Your Majesty is afraid that Tang Gong will forget, so I specially asked the villain to remind me." ”

"The widow knows, you go down." Fang Li waved his hand, seeing that the old chamberlain was a little chilled, and asked the porter to give him a piece of gold cake, and the chamberlain took the golden cake and retreated with a thousand thanks.

The Spring Festival in spring and autumn is very different from the modern Spring Festival, and one of the few things in common is rest.

After coping with the sacrifices after Chinese New Year's Eve, the countries spent the two cold winter months without incident, and in early March, when everything was recovering, the dark clouds of the great war once again hung over the Spring and Autumn Continent.

The standing army of the Gancheng battalion has achieved initial results, and Gao Shun's trapping camp has been re-expanded to 5,000 people, and at the same time, 20,000 soldiers have been trained to die first, which are temporarily under Gao Shun's command, led by Sun Ce and Hua Xiong respectively.

The 300 people of the Tabai Army have been trained, with Dian Wei as the main general, and Fang Li is directly under the central government.

At the same time, the penalty period of Miyue is also approaching, and the entire Tang Mansion is filled with a festive atmosphere.

Fang Li was worried about Miyue's body, and at the same time coldly watched Zhao Gao busy and busy, and decided to wait for Miyue to give birth smoothly.

If it was really just a lack of health, Fang Li would also be happy to give Zhao Gao a chance, if there were some other thoughts, it would only be the life of a small chamberlain, and it would not cause any fluctuations at all.

On this day, as soon as Fang Li returned from the camp in Gancheng, he heard that Prime Minister Xun Yu and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Gong Zhiqi had been waiting in the lobby for a long time.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Xun Yu and Gong Zhiqi saluting him in the lobby, and it seemed that he had indeed waited for a lot of time.

Fang Li signaled that the two of them didn't need to be polite, and then sat down and asked, "I'm so anxious to find a widow, but what happened to the court?" ”

"Back to the lord, the minister is indeed in a hurry." Gong Zhiqi knelt in front of Fang Li's left and arched his hand, "The envoy of Zhao State has arrived in Luoyang yesterday, saying that Zhao Gong wants to invite the Lord Prime Minister Wang. ”

"Zhao Yong wants to invite the widowed king?" Fang Li almost squirted out a sip of hot tea, "At this time? What's wrong with his brain? ”

Although the State of Chu is the king, but that is because Xiong Lu has that ability, and he Zhao Yong also wants to be the king, so he is not afraid of angering the State of Qi?

"The lord is Mingjian, and the minister thinks that what Zhao Gong said about being the king is just a disguise." Xun Yu stroked the long black and thick beard on his chin, and smiled indifferently, "What Zhao Gong really means should be that he just wants to test and tempt." ”

Fang Li put down the teacup thoughtfully: "Is it tempting the widow to have any interest in Zhao Guo?" Then he Zhao Yong is too suspicious. ”

"It's a test of the lord's ambitions." Xun Yu shook his head and spread out the map he was carrying in front of the three of them, "My lord, please see, after the three families are divided, the current population of my Datang is more than 4.3 million, and the population of the Zhao Kingdom has expanded to more than 6 million. However, Bi Wan of the Jin State fought to the death on the front line, and the Jin army captured by Lian Po was only more than 50,000 people, and the number of troops that could be used in the country would not exceed 400,000. ”

"So Zhao Yong is suspicious of the widow?" Fang Li's finger moved slowly on the map, and suddenly slammed on Daliang City, "Wen Ruo's meaning is understandable, the Tang State was weak before, and he wanted to rely on Zhao Chu to live with his nose, until the three families attacked Jin, Zhao Yong was probably still trying to let Zhao Guo eat meat, and the widow just drank some gruel." ”

Gong Zhiqi also nodded: "The minister thinks that no matter whether Duke Zhao is a temptation or a sincere person, the lord cannot be called the king at present." ”

"Of course, the widow is not so confused as he is." Fang Li pursed his lips disdainfully, "The name of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State shocked the world and did not dare to call the king, the Qi State was the first power in the world, and Jiang Xiaobai had never been called the king, why did the widow want to be the target of the world?" Didn't you see that the bear couple called the queen and the allies immediately lost most of them. ”

Xun Yu and Gong Zhiqi looked at each other and smiled, and both nodded: "The lord is wise, and the ministers will rest assured." ”

Fang Li smiled, knowing that after the siege of Hangu before, the whole Tang Dynasty was a little worried that he would get carried away again and do something impulsive, so he often advised, and Fang Li was also very pleased with this.

But...

"The two gentlemen are in such a hurry, presumably not just for Zhao Yong's envoy, right?" Fang Li drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp, and sighed comfortably, "What else is there, let's talk about it together." ”

The two were silent for a long time, and Xun Yu suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "Let's talk about it, the Duke of Han sent a letter, saying that it was to congratulate the lord on his noble son, and the Korean mission came to Luo in a month, and brought a sumptuous full moon ceremony." ”

Korea?

Fang Li was stunned for a moment, and then became angry: "He, Han Wu, is he embarrassed to send an envoy to Tang?" actually hit the idea on Mrs. Madame's unborn child! ”

The grievances between the Tang State and South Korea have been going on for a long time, and when the Tang State was still a small seedling built on the Yu State, South Korea sent an envoy to express its willingness to form a friendly ally with Fang Li, and the two sides sent each other missions to be stationed, and Fang Li returned the official position of Han Fei Tang State to show friendship.

But later, the Tang State went through many hardships, and also sent envoys to South Korea many times to ask for help, but Han Wu didn't even bother to do superficial work, and directly excused himself and said that South Korea had no soldiers.

At the earliest, Han Fei could still lead private soldiers to help Fang Li, which was the last fig leaf between Han and Tang, but later Han Fei was grounded by Han Wu, and after pulling out the Korean mission in Xingyang during the siege of Pinglu, the relationship between the two countries fell to a freezing point.

For this forgiveness of profit, Fang Li has long been full of fire, but he can't find a chance to clean it up.

"The widow hasn't troubled him yet, but he actually came to the widow first?!" Fang Li laughed angrily, "Now you know that you want to report Tang Guo's thigh?" It's late! ”

"There is one more thing, the lord will definitely cry and laugh when he knows about it." Gong Zhiqi smiled and said, "The envoy sent by the Duke of Han, who does the lord know?" ”

"Who is it?" Fang Li looked at Gong Zhiqi's subtle expression, and suddenly realized, "Han Wu's hun people, could it be that Han Fei was sent?" ”

"It's Han Fei." Xun Yu shook his head helplessly, "Han Fei helped me in the Tang Dynasty in his personal name before, and the lord appreciated him quite a lot, Han Gong probably thought that sending someone here would ease the relationship." ”

"Humph!" Fang Li slapped his palm on the case and sneered, "Use it and wave it away, it's really the first time I've seen such a lord, and it's a shame that Han Fei is still the son of his Korean family!" ”

Xun Yu covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "Han Fei will come to Tang in the future, what is the lord's plan?" ”

"Nope!" Fang Li said decisively, "Tell Han Fei that the widow is grateful to him, but there is no possibility for Tang Guo and South Korea to be friendly again!" ”

Xun Yu took a deep breath and said solemnly: "My lord, please listen to the minister's words, the minister thinks that when he treats the Han envoy, he not only wants to see him, but also to see him solemnly, and see him with great fanfare!" ”
