After a small episode, the court meeting was still going on in an orderly manner, as the left minister of the court, Fang Xuanling waited until all the officials were seated, and then he walked out with Chao Bei in his hand, and stood in the middle of the hall, and reported that the conference would begin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the prime minister, the content of Fang Xuanling's report is full of summarization, summarizing the progress made in all aspects of Datang in the past year, military, agricultural, economic and diplomatic, in a word, Datang's progress in the past year is rapid and proud.

Of course, all of this is inseparable, the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor Yingming of the Tang Dynasty, without the leadership of the Emperor Mingming, all of this can only be a flash in the pan, and it may take many years to achieve.

So, when the prime minister's report ended, the following six scholars couldn't sit still, and stood up one by one and began to summarize the progress made by the six ministries in the past year.

It's a bit boring, it's half an hour, and the entire Taiji Hall is full of these bigwigs, making reports there like a bell, the content is similar, to put it bluntly, in fact, they are nakedly patting Li Er's ass.

Zhao Chen just sat below, listening with a pair of ears, he was a little impatient, it was nothing more than summarizing, looking forward and adding sycophants, and the real thing could not be moved to the court meeting.

It's just that when he peeked at Li Er, he found that Li Er was sitting there, still listening with relish, as if what these bigwigs were talking about was so interesting.

Zhao Chen then felt that Li Er's concentration alone was not something that ordinary people could do, Nima's, how boring this was!

After listening patiently for half an hour, the bigwigs have finally summed up, and now it's the turn of the envoys of the various states!

During this time, in order to allow these Fanbang envoys to participate in the court meeting smoothly and not make trouble, the people in the Ministry of Rites are not less busy, they are all from all over the world, the etiquette and customs are different, and if one is not good, it should be a big oolong incident.

Fortunately, the people in the Ministry of Rites, during this time, have been trained again and again, and when these envoys appeared, they were one by one, like officials of the Tang Dynasty, holding the court, and saluting Li Er in a decent manner.

Of course, these envoys did not come empty-handed, they all brought local specialties, such as animal skins, pearls and something, after all, they came from afar, and the audience was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so it was rude not to bring gifts, isn't it?

Li Er was also extremely generous at this point, no matter what gifts the following envoys gave him, they all accepted them with a smile, and as soon as he turned around, he immediately gave a lot of gifts.

Generous is just like those gifts, as if they don't want money, Zhao Chen, who listened to it, was below, inhaling cold air for a while, just like the gifts given by Li Er, which were pulled down from his Chang'an Hou.

However, there were many envoys who came, and the oolong incident was inevitable, because there was an envoy who solemnly sent Li Er a piece of ugly glass.

Oh my God, when this guy proudly presented the ugly piece of glass, the entire Taiji Hall suddenly fell into a strange silence as if he had fallen into an evil spirit.

Now, in the Tang Dynasty, almost all of the glass has become a cheap sale, and there are still people who take it out and give it to the emperor solemnly, are they betting that Li Er is blind, or is it really stupid and incorrigible?

"Well, I love this gift!" However, when the main hall was in a strange silence, Li Er, who was sitting on it, started to flip through the ugly glass at this time, and said with an intoxicated face.

As soon as Li Er's words came out, they immediately attracted a crowd of people below, and they couldn't help but snicker, and they all felt that this was what Li Er would say in order not to embarrass the person who offered the glass.

It's just that after a while, Fang Xuanling, who was at the head of the hundred officials, looked at Li Er above, as if they suddenly understood something, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, and their eyes all looked at Zhao Chen intentionally or unintentionally.

Don't look at the ugliness of this piece of glass, that's because the glass of Datang has already been flooded, however, when Zhao Chen did not appear, even if the ugly glass was still more expensive than gold in Datang.

The envoys met one by one, and finally, when it came to the later time, it was the turn of Yuangai Suwen, like other envoys, Yuangai Suwen held Chaobei in his hand, first saluted Li Er, and then sent a few boxes of ginseng.

"Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty!" It's just that, unlike other envoys, when Li Er returned the salute, Yuangai Suwen was not in a hurry to retreat, but bowed to Li Eryi with his hand in his hand, and said: "The little envoy came to the Tang Dynasty this time, and the king dared to ask the little envoy to ask Your Majesty, both the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo have submitted their credentials, why did the Tang army suddenly invade Liaodong without declaring war this time?" ”

In the main hall, in fact, just when Yuan Gai Suwen stood up, the atmosphere had already changed subtly, and at this moment, with Yuan Gai Suwen's words, the hall suddenly became silent.

"The envoy's words seem a little unreasonable!" As soon as Yuangai Suwen's words fell, Li Er, who was sitting on it, didn't have time to speak, and Hou Junji below had already stepped out of the ranks, looked at Yuangai Suwen and asked: "Hou is someone now, as the secretary of the military department, how can it not be clear when he sent troops to invade Liaodong?" ”

In July, when Zhao Chen led people to Goguryeo, there were not many people in the court, but now, with Zhao Chen returning from Goguryeo, it is no secret.

Therefore, when they heard Hou Junji's words, whether it was the officials of the Tang Dynasty or the envoys of Fanbang who knew about the matter, the expressions on their faces were all stunned in surprise, probably not expecting that Hou Junji would flatly deny this matter.

"Is Lord Shangshu going to deny it?" Yuangai Suwen probably didn't expect that Hou Junji would say such a thing, after hearing this, the expression on his face couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then, his eyes swept over the people in the Taiji Palace, and finally, his eyes stayed on Zhao Chen, and said: "Then may I ask, how did the 'serious injury' on Chang'an Hou's body come about?" ”

When Zhao Chen just came, he said in front of everyone that this 'serious injury' was suffered when he was in Goguryeo, and that was because, in order to block Yuan Gai Suwen's mouth, but who knew that Hou Junji actually came to say this.

Therefore, when I heard Yuan Gai Suwen's words at this time, I sat there in a daze, a little I didn't know how to say it, it was not a denial, it was not a confession, and I was stunned for a while, and I just silently complained about Hou Junji in my heart.

Nima's, generously admitted, what's not to do, we're afraid of a ghost, admit it, what can he do in Goguryeo?

"What, isn't Chang'an Hou willing to say it?" seemed to see Zhao Chen's embarrassment, the corners of Yuan Gai Suwen's mouth couldn't help but pinch slightly, and he obviously said with some pride in his eyes: "Fang Cai, when the little envoy was outside the palace gate, I heard Chang'an Hou say that this 'serious injury' was suffered when he was in Goguryeo, I don't know if the little envoy heard it wrong?" ”

At this time, the entire Taiji Hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were silently looking at Yuan Gai Suwen in the field, and at this time, hearing Yuan Gai Suwen's words, all eyes looked at Zhao Chen.

Damn, what Zhao Chen can't stand the most is this, especially, he was forced into a dilemma by an outsider standing on his own turf, this is simply a provocation!

"Hou has always been good-tempered!" However, just when Zhao Chen just wanted to raise his head and be angry at Yuangai Suwen, he suddenly saw Hou Junji, who had just seen him with a gentle expression, suddenly his face turned cold, and he said coldly to Yuangai Suwen: "Today, Hou Mou is for the sake of you as an envoy, and he shouldn't have anything to do with you, but you just mentioned this matter, then don't blame Hou someone!" ”

When these words fell, Hou Junji shook the sleeves of his robe suddenly, looked at Zhao Chen with a sad face, and said sadly: "You are right, the 'serious injury' of Chang'an Hou is really what he suffered when he was in Goguryeo, and it should be Chang'an Houfu's great life, otherwise, I am afraid that this life will be lost in Liaodong!" ”

"Hah!" As soon as Hou Junji's words came out, Yuangai Suwen sneered, as if he had caught a flaw in Hou Junji's words, and looked at Hou Junji and mocked: "But it seems that Lord Shangshu doesn't admit it!" ”

At this time, the conversation between Hou Junji and Yuangai Suwen, everyone in the hall was quite clear, and when they heard Yuangai Suwen's mocking words, they all showed embarrassed looks on their faces.

And Cheng Biting Jin, who was sitting among the veterans, bared his teeth even more, and whispered to Lao Qin beside him: "Damn, the head surnamed Hou is broken today, why can't the preface match the afterword!" ”

In fact, it was not only Cheng Biting Jin, but also the rest of the veterans beside him, at this time, they all frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

However, among these people, Li Ji and Li Jing seemed to have understood Hou Junji's intentions, and looked at Yuan Gai Suwen over there, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if they were waiting for something good to happen.

"Denied what?" Hearing Yuangai Suwen's words, Hou Junji didn't seem to feel ridiculed, and still said with a cold face: "Hou hasn't asked yet, a few months ago, Chang'an Hou took people to Goguryeo to welcome back the bones of those fallen soldiers, but he was surrounded and suppressed by your Goguryeo army, and he almost died in Liaodong, what is the reason?" ”

When he said this, Hou Junji's gaze swept over the faces of the envoys of Fanbang in the main hall, and finally, he stopped coldly at Yuangai Suwen Reduction, smiled coldly, and said: "That's it, I didn't expect that you Goguryeo would reverse right and wrong, saying that it was the Tang Dynasty that sent troops to invade Liaodong, which is really chilling!" ”

High, what a fucking high!

Zhao Chen, who was still in his heart just now, silently complained about Hou Junji, suddenly heard Hou Junji's words, and suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, looking at Hou Junji with a look of admiration, feeling the feeling of worship, suddenly like the Yellow River bursting its embankment, out of control!
