Chang'an City was still calm, but it just looked calm as usual.

Because of the will of His Majesty the Emperor, Chang'an City has quietly changed.

For example, there are many more worship posts in front of the palace of His Royal Highness King Yong, for example, countless rumors have surged in Chang'an City again, and many ministers who were originally close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have locked the door and are cautious in their words and deeds......

Li Hong was in no mood to care about this.

He was busy, because peace talks with the Turks had finally started!

The venue for the peace talks was set at the Honglu Temple, because the Turks did not have any other desirable places, or in other places to go, they did not dare to let the officials of the Tang Dynasty know.

At least not on the surface.

Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign guests, naturally will not weaken the momentum, the hall of the meeting is quite gorgeous, in the middle is Li Hong sitting.

And the next one is Ashina Funian and Ashdwin Fu and a few Turkic nobles, for some reason, the Turkic noble boy who followed them to the temple did not come.

I think it's because the boy is going to be a hostage after all, and it is not good for him to know too many things......

The rest are the officials of Honglu Temple and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and even in order to show that Datang attaches great importance to this matter, this peace talk is not only Li Hong personally present, but also responsible for this matter, it is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Yan Shansi!

"Since everyone is almost there, Yan Shangshu will start!"

Raising his eyes and looking at the hour, Li Hong took a sip of tea and said lightly.

And with Li Hong's words, it also marks that the peace talks between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks that the two sides have been planning for so long has finally officially begun!

Since it was a peace talk, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were naturally prepared, and Li Hong's words just fell.

There was a director of the Ministry of Rites who stood up and read a document, the content of which was roughly nothing more than saying that the cause of the battle of the Western Expedition was all in the Turks, and that the Tang Dynasty's surrender to the Turks was benevolent and good governance, and there was a threat of force, so that they could be honest in the future.

This is actually a common method, because for negotiations, the most important thing is momentum, and now in Datang's home field, the other party is naturally weaker in momentum!

However, what made Yan Shansi a little disappointed was that the other party's attitude was very respectful, because immediately after, Ashina Fu Nian stood up and spoke.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this Turkic rebellion is indeed caused by some unscrupulous people, but my Turkic and Tang Dynasty are friends and neighbors for generations!

This time I entered Chang'an, and I am willing to serve the Tang Dynasty as the country of the suzerain, and never rebel! I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will convey the most sincere sincerity of his subordinates to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

The tone is quite polite.,The attitude is also very polite.。

Not even like a Turkic khan, to put it mildly.

"Khan rest assured, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks have been friends and neighbors for generations, and they should help each other, and now the Turks are in ruins, and if the Turks can successfully conclude an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, they will naturally do their best to help their neighbors!"

Li Hong's tone was very loud, but he hid needles in it.

However, Ashina Fu Nian didn't care, bowed and saluted, and then sat down.

This was followed by an exchange of documents.

After all, there are too many aspects involved in the peace talks, and if they are dictated, I don't know how long it will take to write the document, and it will be much more concise to write the document.

And Li Hong's hand naturally has documents from both sides, but Datang's documents were personally reviewed by him, so naturally there is nothing to look at.

So Li Hong raised his hand and opened the document handed over by the Turks, or rather, it was a book!

"No, Datang deceives people too much!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Hong turned the page of the document, he heard a loud noise, accompanied by the angry voice of Ashdwin Fu.

"What did you say?"

"Presumptuous!"

The first to react were the two young officials of Honglu Temple, who was in charge of foreign affairs, and naturally saw a lot of this kind of Turkic people who were extremely impulsive at every turn.

Therefore, the tone of these young officials was also quite unpolite, and they asked directly.

And with Asdwin's words, the door was immediately filled with guards who drew their swords and guarded.

As soon as the negotiations began, they smelled of gunpowder!

"Devin Fu! Sit down! ”

Looking at the tense atmosphere in the field, Ashina frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.

And at this moment, Asdwin Fu Fang sat down again with an ugly face!

It's just that Li Hong is quietly looking at the side of the Turks, and the guards at the door are still on guard, and they have no intention of withdrawing.

Seeing this scene, Ashina smiled bitterly and got up to salute.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives his sins, Devin Fu has an impulsive temperament, it is inevitable to be rude, the matter of peace talks is very big, it is inevitable that there will be friction, please forgive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Hong smiled slightly, waved his hand lightly, and the guards at the door retreated.

After a pause, Li Hong said softly.

"Khan, don't take it as an example!"

When he said this, Li Hong's tone was solemn, even with a hint of coldness.

He didn't pretend to be polite or anything, because he didn't need it at all! Today's Turks are under the roof, and they can't help but bow their heads!

Even if both sides knew very well that those guards did not dare to really make a move, they both knew that the Turks had to apologize, and Li Hong's attitude would not soften.

This is the self-confidence of Datang, but also the helplessness of the defeated country......

The atmosphere in the lobby eased slightly, and the negotiations naturally continued.

"Your Highness, although Dewen Fu's behavior was reckless just now, but for this document, the ministers are indeed a little puzzled, now that my Turks respect the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, why do they still have to pay compensation to the Tang Dynasty?

The subordinate had the privilege of reading the Tang Laws and Regulations, and it seems that there has never been a regulation for reparations......"

Ashina's voice seemed to be humble and hesitant, but in fact, he expressed his attitude very firmly.

Compared with Asdwin's exaggerated attitude just now, it is really much better.

Li Hong, on the other hand, ignored Ashina Fu Nian and continued to look at the documents handed over by the Turks just now.

On the other side, Yan Shansi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said in a deep voice.

"The Khan also said just now that the battles of the Western Expedition were all caused by the Turkic rebellion, and my Tang army is to help the Khan put down the rebellion, right?"

"Yes!"

Ashina hesitated for a moment and spoke.

Although the truth is not the case, since he has already said it just now, it is not easy to refute it at this moment, so although he realized that the other party might make a fuss on this point, he still had to bear it.

"In this case, I, the Tang Dynasty, helped the Khan to quell the rebellion, and therefore wasted the country, shouldn't the Turks be responsible for this?"

Yan Shansi sat upright, his tone serious.

"This ......"

Ashina was speechless for a while, but Ashina Fu, who had just quieted down next to him, was angered by this sentence again and stood up directly.

"Of course not!"

Fortunately, he remembered the lesson just now, and did not smash the table or shout loudly, but the anger in his tone was still uncontrollable.

"The Tang army destroyed our homeland, left women and children starving in the wind and snow, and countless Turkic men died because of it, who will compensate for these losses?

Could it be that someone has come to invade our country and demanded that we pay for the journey?

What a joke! ”

In the end, Ashwin's tone became extremely sarcastic, and his face was extremely angry!

On the other hand, Li Hong was still silent and didn't even raise his head.

For a moment, it seemed that Ashdwin Fu looked a little like a funny clown...... (To be continued.) )
