Xue Yuanchao didn't believe that the Wa Kingdom could send troops so easily, so after listening to Li Xian's words, he only felt that he was listening to a joke, so he couldn't help laughing loudly and making sarcastic remarks. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But he didn't expect Li Xian's face to sink, and he shouted: "Xue Yuanchao, now that the national disaster is at hand, as the prime minister, you enjoy a high position, eat the country's fortune, and don't know how to share the country's worries, but you have repeatedly made sarcastic remarks about the palace, what is your intention?" Let's talk about it, if you act like this, you are still worthy of being the prime minister? What's more, you can't stop laughing in front of your father, queen mother and this palace, but you still put your father, queen mother and this palace in your eyes? Rude, especially for you, is it tolerable or unbearable, where is the history of serving in the palace? ”

"Weichen Guo Yuanzhen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince", as Li Xian shouted, he saw Guo Yuanzhen slowly walking out, and then bowed to Gaozong and Empress Wu and said: "Your Majesty, Queen of Heaven, Xue Yuanchao, as the prime minister, but regardless of the court, laughed wildly in the palace, and should be punished for half a year according to the law, and please ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to severely punish him." ”

"This, this ......" Xue Yuanchao was still very proud, but now when he saw Li Xian and Guo Yuanzhen say this, he immediately panicked, although a fine for half a year is nothing to him, but it is a very heavy blow to his reputation.

Therefore, Xue Yuanchao hurriedly asked Gaozong and Empress Wu for his guilt, but Guo Yuanzhen, the palace attendant, did not forgive, and had to severely punish Xue Yuanchao to warn future generations.

Gaozong was also very disgusted with Xue Yuanchao's wild laughter, so he ordered to act according to the law, dragged Xue Yuanchao out of the hall, fined him for half a year, and if he committed it again, the crime would be increased by one degree.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wechen will never dare anymore, Your Majesty will exempt Wechen from punishment." Xue Yuanchao looked remorseful, he shouldn't have been so out of shape, he was caught by Li Xian, but now regret is useless, and he was finally dragged out of the court, and he lost face for a while, and it became a joke.

And Li Xian, after Xue Yuanchao was driven out of the court, arched his hand to Gaozong and Empress Wu and said: "Father, mother, and sons are willing to share the worries of the country, send an envoy to the Japanese country, and encourage the three-inch incorruptible tongue, and will definitely persuade the lord of the Japanese country to send troops, defeat the Japanese invaders, unblock the sea supply line, and ask the father and queen mother for permission." ”

"This, Xian'er, you are the crown prince, but I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you take the risk of flying thousands of miles and go to the envoy? In my opinion, it is better to send a minister who can speak well to the Wa country, express the sincerity of our country, give the Wa country some property, and ask him to send troops. ”

Although Gaozong was occasionally wary of Li Xian, on the whole, he was quite good to Li Xian, and this time it was also out of good intentions, and he was really afraid that Li Xian would have any accidents, so he persuaded him with good words, hoping that Li Xian would not go to the Wa Kingdom in person.

Li Xian was naturally able to feel Gaozong's kindness, but he also had his own plans, so he rejected Gaozong's kindness, bowed down and said: "Thank you father and emperor for such care, the son is grateful, but the son is the prince, and he should contribute to the country. In this way, things are in a dilemma, therefore, for the benefit of my Datang, Erchen is willing to go to the Wa Kingdom, as for the security issue, please don't worry about my father, Erchen believes that the Wa Kingdom will not be so unwise, dare to offend my Datang. ”

"In that case, then you can go." Gaozong sighed when he heard this, and then ordered Li Xian to be the envoy, and Li Yiyan and Cen Changqian, the squire of the military department, as the deputy envoys, to go to the Wa State to discuss the dispatch of troops.

At this moment, Empress Wu proposed again, and let his personal female official Shangguan Wan'er also serve as a deputy envoy, and accompanied Li Xian to the Japanese State, the purpose of which was actually obvious, that is, to spy on Li Xian.

But Li Xian was slightly shocked, although the relationship between him and Shangguan Wan'er has been unusual since childhood, or he takes care of Wan'er quite a lot, Shangguan Wan'er will never betray him, but this is going to the Wa Kingdom, and Shangguan Wan'er's father Shangguan Tingzhi is now making a big deal in the Wa State, that is the chief deputy minister under the Taizheng Guan's account, in fact, he is in charge of all the new deal affairs, and the power is equivalent to the Zhongshu Shilang and Huangmen Shilang of the Tang Dynasty.

This time, when he goes to the Wa Kingdom, he will definitely see Shangguan Tingzhi, and when he gets there, Shangguan Tingzhi and Shangguan Wan'er, the father and daughter, will definitely recognize each other, so that the news that Shangguan Tingzhi is still alive will definitely be exposed, and for this, whether it is Shangguan Tingzhi or Shangguan Wan'er, it may bring extremely serious disasters.

First of all, Shangguan Tingzhi's identity is exposed, and he will definitely not be tolerated by all strata of the Wa Kingdom, although he is currently in a high position in the Wa State, but he exists as a Tang Dynasty businessman, if he is found to be a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely be arrested and killed as a spy.

In addition, Shangguan Wan'er's family will definitely be convicted because Shangguan Tingzhi is still alive, and whether she can save her life is a question.

Therefore, Li Xian immediately said to the Empress Wu that he did not approve of Shangguan Wan'er going to the Wa Kingdom, only to hear Li Xian say: "The queen mother, the sons oppose letting Shangguan Wan'er go to the Wa Kingdom, first of all, Wan'er is the female official next to the queen mother, and one day is indispensable. Also, Wan'er is just a woman, who sailed across the ocean to the Japanese kingdom by boat, encountered wind and waves, and her body was afraid that she could not bear it, and if she fell ill because of this, Erchen was very unhappy in her heart; In addition, Wan'er looks so moving, if she is remembered by the Japanese people, wouldn't it be a sin? ”

But seeing the Empress Wu, he sneered: "The prince doesn't have to worry about it, Wan'er is certainly the most powerful female official around the palace, but isn't there still a group of them around the palace?" For a few months, Hongu was still able to endure it. Wan'er's physical fitness, you don't have to worry at all, Wan'er is a polo expert, usually by playing polo, the body is also very good, the sea can easily withstand a little wind and waves, as for you say that Wan'er is beautiful and will be remembered, then it is even more of a joke, hehe, the small country of the Japanese country, the land of projectiles, dare to beat my Tang Dynasty female official's idea, is it impatient to live? The matter was so decided, three days later, you set off from Chang'an, went to Luoyang, and then from Luoyang to Laizhou, the palace prepared a big ship for you in Laizhou, and you waited for the boat from Laizhou to the Wa country, and it is estimated that you will be able to reach the Wa country in three months.
