Li Hongji frowned slightly, Chang Mengxi and Sun Sheng lost one after another, which Li Hongji never expected. In his plan, as long as Yang Lian is charged with the crime, this martial artist will definitely be arrested. Because judging from Yang Lian's attitude towards Liu Xin, Yang Lian is clearly a warrior without brains, and he doesn't know how to negotiate at all.

But Yang Lian was actually anti-guest, spoke aggressively, and even charged the two of them with rebellion and collaborating with the enemy, which is really powerful.

Li Hongji snorted coldly, and felt that it was necessary to personally go out to combat Yang Lian's arrogance, and said: "General Yang is really sharp and clever. I heard that the relationship between General Yang and the Khitan people is very ambiguous, could it be that General Yang and the Khitan Yelu Haili have colluded? ”

Yang Lian glanced at him, ignored him, but saluted Li Jing, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen's excerpt must have been sent to Your Majesty's hands, and the peace treaty with the Khitans, I don't know if Your Majesty is satisfied?" Jeruhairi has already made it clear that this is only a preliminary agreement with Mada. There are many more benefits to come. ”

Li Jing nodded and said appreciatively: "I am very satisfied with this first draft. ”

When Li Jing said this, Chang Mengxi, Sun Sheng, Li Hongji and others were extremely shocked, and they couldn't guess what was in Yang Lian's excerpt, and they actually made His Majesty nod and praise? Li Hongji shook his head slightly, and Sun Sheng walked up cheekily and said, "Your Majesty, General Yang and the Khitans have reached a preliminary agreement?" ”

Li Jing said with satisfaction: "Yes, General Yang has worked hard and made great achievements, and I really didn't look at the wrong person." ”

When Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, heard this, he stroked his beard and looked proud, but he still did not come out of the ranks, and watched this dragon and tiger fight.

Chang Mengxi hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty." Yang Lian is clever and good at deceiving, I am afraid that this time he will also deceive His Majesty. ”

Yang Lian sneered, looked at Chang Mengxi coldly, and said, "Chang Shilang, listen to what you say." Is it to say that General Ben is disloyal, is it to say that His Majesty is ignorant? Saying that, Yang Lian suddenly hugged his fists, saluted Li Jing, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is a martial artist, and he just lost his words, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive you." ”

At this time, Li Jing felt guilty about Yang Lian, so he didn't care. Waving his hand, he said, "Yang Aiqing doesn't have to worry too much, I see these things in my eyes." As he spoke, he handed Yang Lian's fold to the eunuch beside him and asked him to read it.

The eunuch read it in a sharp voice, although the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan was only the first draft, it had already made a lot of profits. Especially the war horses that got Mada's side made the faces of all the generals in the court red. Fang Jinzhao, the secretary of the military department, rubbed his hands even more excitedly.

South Ship North Horse. Due to the limitation of the geographical environment in the south, it is not easy to raise horses, and the horse breed is relatively bad, short in size, and the impact is not strong, which is very different from the war horses in the north. If Ma agreed to Datang's request. Selling 500 war horses to Datang every year is really a relief for Datang, which lacks war horses. You must know that among the armies in Jinling, there are no 500 war horses under the subordinates of the unified army. From this point of view, if you can get 500 war horses from the Khitan, it will be a great achievement.

Li Hongji's face became flushed, but he felt that Datang had obtained so many war horses, and he was afraid that he would pay more.

When the eunuch finished reading the rest of the excerpt, many ministers were shocked as if they were in a frying pan.

Datang only needs to pay 300 quintals of tea to trade with the Khitans, although this trade is not exchanged with tea and war horses, there is still a price difference, but it is already very good to let the Khitans sell horses. As for tea, Datang has no shortage of tea!

Liu Renzhan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, if the Khitan people can give Datang 500 war horses every year, it will be a great joy." If you can choose excellent breeds to mate and mate, I am afraid that Datang will not lack war horses in the future. ”

Li Jun nodded, at this time, the technology of gelding geldings is not yet mature, and there is a certain feasibility.

Sun Sheng's face became very ugly, but he still refused to admit defeat, so he said: "Your Majesty, although this is a gratifying thing, it is still a big trouble to offend the Han people." In the future, the Tang Dynasty will fight with the Han State and the Wu Yue Kingdom, and I am afraid that the Khitans will stand by and watch! ”

Chang Mengxi grabbed the straw like a man in the water, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Sun said is very true. The Khitans can't be trusted and can't be trusted! ”

"If the Khitan people can't believe it, then the Han people can believe it?" Yang Lian asked lightly.

"The Han people are the court of the Central Plains, so they can naturally be trusted." Chang Mengxi said, but couldn't help wiping the sweat on his face.

Yang Lian smiled, his words were full of ridicule, and said: "Chang Shilang, according to your logic, the Khitan people are not credible, but the Han people are credible because the Khitans are of a different race. But has Chang Shilang forgotten? Ben will just remind you that the Han Kingdom was built by Liu Zhiyuan, a native of Shatuo. ”

"When the Tang Dynasty swept the Quartet, Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong pacified the world, only then did the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty, the four Yi Xianfu, and the name of 'Tian Khan' shocked the world. It's a pity that the Son of Heaven was later covered with dust and was killed by the traitor Zhu Wen. Emperor Liezu rose in the south of the Yangtze River, and when today's son is wise, he is about to recover the Central Plains, recover the world, and restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty in the past. ”

"Chang Shilang, you want to prevent the Son of Heaven from recovering the Tang Dynasty and mountains, could it be that you are a spy of the Han Kingdom? Ben Jiang heard that you are a Fufeng person, and you used to work for Li Maozhen back then, but are you still thinking about the old master? ”

Yang Lian scolded sharply, Chang Mengxi's face was sweating profusely, it was true that he was a Fufeng person, but he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Maozhen had already died. Yang Lian said this, which surprised him and made him even more angry, but he couldn't find the words to refute and suppress Yang Lian's arrogance.

"Commander Yang, this is the imperial court, why are you so aggressive?!" Li Hongji said unhurriedly.

Yang Lian took a deep breath and said, "Why? Ben will have no selfish intentions, just thinking about the Tang Dynasty. But some people actually plotted against the Tang Dynasty and colluded with the enemy. Dong Pinggong, this kind of person should stay away. ”

Li Hongji's eyes flickered, and the killing intent flashed, but he knew that this was not the time to have a fight with Yang Lian, so he couldn't help but sneer and ignore Yang Lian.

Li Hongji didn't speak, Chang Mengxi was scolded by Yang Lian for a while, Sun Sheng also fell into silence for a while, and in the hall, there was almost silence. Yang Lian glanced around, and saw that no one spoke, so he said: "Your Majesty, the best way is to form an alliance with the Han State while forming an alliance with the Khitans." This kind of alliance is, of course, only a formal alliance, and once there is a change in the north, it can take advantage of the weakness. ”

Sun Sheng snorted coldly and scoffed at Yang Lian's words. Chang Mengxi thought about it, and finally couldn't help but say, "General Yang, isn't your words a fool's dream." The Khitans and Han people are not fools, how could they sign such a peace treaty. ”

Yang Lian laughed loudly: "It's man-made, if you don't work hard, how can you know that it won't work?" ”

Chang Mengxi pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "Commander Yang, if you can sign an alliance with the Khitans and Han people at the same time, I will return to my hometown!" ”

"Don't, don't!" Yang Lian hurriedly said, with a sneering look on his face, and said: "Chang Shilang's mansion is luxurious, even the carriage is a Shu brocade, if he is not an official, I am afraid that he will not be able to make ends meet, then wouldn't Ben General become a bad person, and hurt Chang Shilang's family?" ”

When Chang Mengxi heard this, the beard at the corner of his mouth shook angrily, and at this time he finally realized that he couldn't talk to Yang Lian, so he retreated, looking at Yang Lian from time to time, with hatred.

Yang Lian's words aroused Li Jing's interest, he thought for a while, and said, "Yang Aiqing, can you do it?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely do his best to reach an alliance with the Khitans and Hans." Yang Lian said.

Li Hongji opened his mouth and said, "Commander Yang, I don't know how the negotiations with the envoys of the Han State are going?" ”

"Dongping Gong will get the news soon." Yang Lian said.

Li Hongji sneered and said, "If Commander Yang can sign an equal treaty with the Han State, this duke will definitely be rewarded." ”

"Dongping Gong is serious, and the last general will eat the king's Lu as the king's worries, and he doesn't dare to ask for anything from Dongping Gong." Yang Lian refused, he knew that Li Hongji must have some tricks, although he didn't take the money for nothing, but Yang Lian didn't lack that money.

Li Hongji was choked by Yang Lian, and never spoke again.

At this time, a small yellow door hurriedly came and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Liu Xin, the envoy of the Han Kingdom, is asking to see you outside. ”

Yang Lian smiled slightly, thinking that Liu Xin was not too stupid, and knew that he was looking for Li Jing.

Li Jing was a little surprised and asked, "Yang Aiqing, what's going on?" ”

Yang Lian was unhurried and told everything that happened last night, and the ministers in the court were all surprised. Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, gasped even more, if Liu Xin succeeded in killing the Khitan envoy, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty and the Khitan Liangzi will be bigger, you must know that Yelu Haili is the son of Mada. If Jeruhaili dies, will Mada give up?

Li Jing was slightly shocked in his heart, and immediately felt lucky, if it weren't for Yang Lian, I am afraid that Liu Xin would have succeeded. He thought for a while and said, "Why is Liu Xin here?" ”

Yang Lian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if Weichen didn't guess wrong, Liu Xin came to make friends with Datang." At this time, he had no choice but to befriend Datang. ”

Liu Renzhan said with some concern: "However, since you have formed an alliance with the Khitans, how can Yelu Haili let Liu Xin and the others go?" ”

Li Jing also said: "What Liu Aiqing said is very true, this question is a bit tricky. ”

Yang Lian smiled and said nothing, in fact, he already had a good plan, but he was not in a hurry to say it.

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, thought about it and said: "If there is a way to give Yelu Haili an explanation and let Liu Xin leave safely, how good it would be." "But is there such a way?

The ministers all lowered their heads and considered, but the time was too hasty, and no one thought of a better way, and in the Xingxiang Palace, there was silence for a while, and the sound of breathing was clearly audible.

After half a ring, Yang Lian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a way, I believe that whether it is the Khitan people or the Han people, they will be satisfied." ”

Li Jing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Yang Aiqing, what good can you do?" ”

"This matter is very important, please let Your Majesty retreat, so that Weichen can offer a good plan!" Yang Lian said.

Li Jing nodded, thought so, and immediately announced his retreat from the dynasty. (To be continued.) )
