Whether the congratulatory gift is valuable or not, it represents the heart of others, and returning other people's congratulatory gifts seems somewhat impersonal, but several people in the main hall have calm faces and do not feel that there is anything wrong.

"Shen Faxing's attempt to use a congratulatory gift to ensure the safety of Wu County and Yuhang is ridiculous." Fang Xuanling was the first to speak: "Judging from the current situation, no matter how valuable his congratulatory gift is, it is impossible for the virtuous brother to accept it." ”

"In addition to Shen Faxing's congratulatory gift, Xiao Mill's congratulatory gift should naturally not be accepted." Wei Zheng smiled and said: "The army of the Tang Dynasty has already invaded the territory of Daliang, and Zheng thinks that since the imperial court does not want to turn against the Tang Dynasty at this time, it should not wade into this troubled water." ”

"Two brothers, please listen to Wuji's words." Wei Zheng mentioned Xiao Miao, but the eldest grandson Wuji interrupted him and said: "Xiao Miao, this person is famous in the Baling and Jiangling areas, otherwise there would not be so many people attached to him, so Wuji feels that the imperial court should send an envoy to persuade him to return to Southern Sui." ”

"According to the news of the spies, Li Jiancheng has already led a large army to the city of Jiangling, and if he wins over Xiao Mo at this time, I am afraid that Datang will hold a grudge." Wei Zheng thought for a moment and expressed the worry in his heart.

"Since Brother Xuancheng said so, then Xuanba has to try to win over Xiao Mo no matter what he says." Different from Wei Zheng's sad face, Li Xuanba smiled extremely happily: "Xuanba is neither white silver, nor golden gold, I didn't intend to make anyone like me." ”

"It's okay if you don't like it, I'm afraid that no matter what Dade does, someone will hate him." Seeing Li Xuanba's narcissistic appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji joked and continued: "Previously, Dade was reluctant to take the initiative to send troops, not because he was afraid of Datang, so even if someone has a grudge, what can he do? ”

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other and sighed, they knew very well in their hearts that since Li Xuanba sent out the invitation, Nan Sui and Datang had gradually faded the coat of peace.

"Xiao Milling has resisted stubbornly so far, which shows that he is not willing to be killed, if he is willing to surrender, Datang will not treat him badly, and besides, in terms of the current situation, Datang is far stronger than Nan Sui, why should Xiao Mo give up Datang and surrender to Nan Sui?"

The matter of Dou Jiande and Xu Shiji's surrender to Southern Sui has not yet been made public, except for the Thirteenth Taibao and Dou Jiande, there are not many people who know the truth, this is Li Xuanba's intention, he wants to surprise some people in the future.

In addition to the lack of strength on the surface, the highest-ranking courtier of the Southern Sui is Li Xuanba, but he is only the position of the Duke of the State, on the contrary, in Chang'an City, the Duke of the State is like a lackey. Who's courtyard wall collapsed, and two of the ten people who were stoned to death may be a certain prince.

"Since Brother Wuji is willing to speak, he must have a plan in his heart." Although Li Xuanba was a little puzzled, but Dou Jiande was in front of him, he didn't have any reason to feel that the eldest grandson Wuji could contribute to Xiao Miao's surrender.

"When I traveled in the first two years, Wuji happened to get acquainted with Xiao Miao, and at the beginning of his incident, I happened to help him a little." The eldest grandson Wuji did not hide it, and replied calmly: "Wuji knows the worries of the two brothers, but Xiao Mo is a smart person, he should be able to see the difference between living in Jiangdu and Chang'an, otherwise, why would he send someone to send a congratulatory gift?" ”

Xiao Mo only sent congratulatory gifts, and did not ask Nan Sui to send troops to help, indicating that he knew that it was impossible for Nan Sui to make a feud with the Tang Dynasty for no reason.

"In this way, the congratulatory gift sent by Xiao Mo is actually a temptation." Wei Zheng said in a trance: "He wants to know if Nan Sui dares to get involved in the war between him and the Tang Dynasty." ”

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were good at scheming, and they didn't notice Xiao Miao's careful thoughts, ignoring his inner thoughts.

"We are waiting to enjoy happiness in Jiangdu, but Wuji wants to go to Jiangling, which is really ashamed of us." Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Xuanba with deep meaning, and sighed: "Although Jiangdu is good, it is like a cage. ”

"Brother Xuanling, Nan Sui can have today, you have contributed a lot, why bother to bury Xuanba?" Li Xuanba scratched his head in embarrassment, put on a smiling face, and comforted: "Now the time has not come, and I have to grieve my brother to stay in this cage for a little longer." ”

Fang Xuanling is very talented, but Li Xuanba basically didn't let him go out with the army, in fact, it's not that Li Xuanba doesn't believe in Fang Xuanling, he is just worried that with the change of history, Fang Xuanling and these people will encounter accidents, so he has been trying to protect them.

Complaining is complaining, Fang Xuanling also knew that Li Xuanba attached great importance to him, otherwise he would not have invited him from a remote place to Luoyang, thinking of this, he arched his hand towards Li Xuanba and said no more.

"Brother Wuji and Xiao Mo met, and this time I went to Jiangling, Brother Wuji must be going." After appeasing Fang Xuanling, Li Xuanba got back to business: "But no one dares to guarantee that the eldest brother will believe that Xiao Mo will return to Southern Sui, so Xuanba decided to go with Brother Wuji." ”

"There is a jade seal of the country as a basis, how can Li Jiancheng not believe it?" Hearing that Li Xuanba was planning to leave Jiangdu again, Wei Zheng blew his beard and glared, and said hurriedly: "You have been back for less than a month, and your body has not yet recovered, so leave this matter to others." ”

The jade seal of the country is just a symbol, the Tang Dynasty abolished the king and stood on his own, and he didn't put the so-called orthodoxy in his eyes, how could he care if the document was covered with those eight words? Besides, when he was in Guanxian County, Li Xiaogong dared to pretend not to know him in front of Li Xuanba, and the deterrent power of the jade seal of the country can be imagined.

Wei Zheng understood this truth, so halfway through his words, he hurriedly changed his words and persuaded Li Xuanba to send others to accompany Changsun Wuji to Jiangling. But in the territory of Southern Sui, the only person who can replace Li Xuanba is Li Zhiyun.

"You know very well that Zhiyun's current ability can't afford such a heavy responsibility." Li Xuanba shook his head and denied Wei Zheng's proposal: "Brother Xuancheng's kindness, Xuanba understands it, but the matter is big, Xuanba must go in person." ”

Wei Zheng has followed Li Xuanba for many years, and he knows Li Xuanba's temperament very well, and others can't persuade Li Xuanba to decide anything. But Wei Zheng is also a very stubborn person, he has a cold face and ignores Li Xuanba's explanation.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Xuanba and Wei Zheng with a smile, and saw that they were deadlocked, so he spoke: "Brother Xuancheng, you can rest assured of the safety of Dade, even if Wuji loses his life, he will ensure that he returns to Jiangdu unscathed, besides, if this trip is really dangerous, how can Wuji agree to take him?" ”

Ever since he met the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng felt that he was unfathomable, and when he heard him say this, his face softened slightly.

"Xiao Miao's matter, whether it can be successful or not, is worth a trip." Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng had different ideas, he thought that a capable person like Li Xuanba should do more: "But Gongzi went to Jiangling, how should Shen Faxing deal with it?" ”

Li Xuanba is only one person, and he lacks skills, and as soon as he leaves, no one will be able to suppress the power of the southern officials.

The imperial court was still divided into two factions, the Duke of Zhou and the southern officials, and Fang Xuanling was worried that there would be disagreements over Shen Faxing, after all, Shen Faxing was also a southerner.

Before leaving, Xuanba will arrange this matter. Li Xuanba smiled meaningfully and replied, "Brother Xuanling, doesn't he want to do something, Xuanba thinks this matter is quite suitable." (To be continued.) )
