Chapter 247: Pressure!
Zichen Palace.
Wu Liangfu stood beside Li Zhi, expressionlessly unfolding the recital in his hand and reading, his slightly sharp voice echoing throughout the hall.
And Li Hong, who was under the main hall, stood with a long body, his face was calm, without the slightest joy or anger.
On the other hand, there are a lot of bigwigs at the bottom, the six ministers, and the governors of the three provinces, all of them, and more than a dozen people make the originally empty Zichen Hall feel a little crowded.
But right now, the faces of these bigwigs are different.
Dai Zhide, Xu Jingzong and other ministers who had discussed countermeasures with Li Hong all had a trace of worry in their eyes, and their faces became solemn.
These days, they also received gifts from Ashina Fu Nian, but naturally they returned them all.
But the situation in Chang'an City, these people are naturally clear, and now it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is probably going to take the initiative!
And the rest of the ministers obviously heard about Li Hong's plan for the first time, and their expressions were also different.
"Zhuqing, this is a recital sent by the prince, let's discuss it!"
Li Zhigao sat on the throne, his face was calm, and he said lightly.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate!"
Before everyone could react, Liu Renliang was the first to jump out and said loudly.
"The matter of peace talks with the Turks has been agreed as early as the end of the Western Expedition, how can I, as the suzerain, go back on my word? What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's negligent talk is too alarmist, the Tang Kingdom is rich and powerful, how can it be afraid of just a Turk? If it is really done according to His Highness's plan. I inevitably lost my Datang bearing! ”
To say that during this period of time, Liu Renliang can be regarded as understanding the ups and downs of the world. Li Yifu, who was originally good friends with him, fell without the slightest warning.
And Li Yifu was exiled. But leaving a mess behind Liu Renliang to clean up, after the failure of the last operation against Pei Xingjian, the military forces carried out a crazy counterattack against him.
Although Liu Renliang is now in a high position and power, the military can't help him, but after all, he was born in the army, and those protégés always have old ones.
And I don't know why. Some of his previous black histories also inexplicably appeared in the recitals of the imperial historians, although they were all painless little things, but they added up to a lot, but it also made his reputation in the court worse!
If he doesn't take measures, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be no place for him in the army, but he can't do anything, because he alone can't face the entire military behemoth.
It's not that he didn't think about going to the martial arts queen for help. But now the relationship between Empress Wu and Li Hong has gradually shown signs of easing, but he and Li Hong are not quite right.
Second, Empress Wu was pregnant at the time, and she didn't have time to pay attention to him, for a while. Liu Ren was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.
It was at this time that Li Xian found him!
Only then did Liu Renliang know. Li Yifu had already defected to His Royal Highness King Yong, and even himself. I also did a lot of things for His Royal Highness King Yong unconsciously!
And the more he came into contact with him, the more Liu Renliang felt that His Royal Highness King Yong was terrible. It's a character that is not inferior to Li Hong's kid at all.
The most important thing is that under the mediation of His Royal Highness King Yong, the military is really willing to stop taking revenge on itself.
Only then did Liu Renliang see how much energy this His Royal Highness King Yong had, and he had a very bad relationship with Li Hong, so it was logical for him to fall under Li Xian's banner.
And today's thing is the first entrustment given to him by Li Xian!
In fact, the outside world only knows that His Royal Highness King Yong once received Ashina Funian's envoy, but few people know that Li Xian even had a secret conversation with Ashina Funian himself.
However, Liu Renliang knew about this matter, although he didn't know what things were specifically discussed, but it was certain that Ashina Fu Nian must have promised Li Xian a condition that was difficult to refuse, so when he saw Liu Renliang again.
Li Xian's attitude suddenly became very tough, and he demanded that he must prevent Li Hong from changing his mind about the peace talks and maintain the original peace talks.
But none of this is important to Liu Renliang!
The important thing is that this is the first entrustment given to him by Li Xian, and he must stop Li Hong!
And with his understanding of the emperor, I'm afraid that Li Zhi will not approve of Li Hong's approach.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Renliang stood up, he saw a smile of approval on the emperor's face.
"Liu Xiang's words may be inappropriate, but the matter of peace talks is indeed not suitable for lightness!"
As soon as Liu Renliang's voice fell, a purple-robed official next to him slowly spoke, but his tone was much more relaxed than that of the aggressive Liu Renliang.
This person is Liu Xiangdao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the old man moved out of his position steadily and spoke.
"The matter of reparations, I have never had in the Tang Dynasty, the old minister has rummaged through the ancient books, and I have not seen this habit in the Central Plains, not to mention that the Turks are barren now, it is difficult to support such a large amount of money, my Tang Dynasty sent troops to quell the chaos is a move of the king, how can it be related to these copper-smelling things! Therefore, in the opinion of the old minister, this matter should be considered more carefully, and it is better to postpone the discussion. ”
The old man said it beautifully, but in fact it meant disapproval!
However, Liu Xiangdao's words also made Li Hong start to be vigilant, this old man has always been a cautious character.
In addition, he is old and does not take care of things, so although he was the secretary of the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department has always been the territory of Li Yifu.
But this time, even he came forward to refute Li Hong's recital, which shows the views of the ministers of the DPRK and China on this matter.
And the most important point is that Liu Xiangdao is also Li Zhi's confidant, if it weren't for Li Zhi's instructions, I'm afraid he wouldn't have expressed his views so obviously.
All eyes in the hall were focused on Li Hong's head for a moment.
And Li Zhi didn't say anything clearly, just said lightly.
"Hong'er, what do you think?"
Li Hong took a deep breath and arched his hand to speak.
"Father, the sons and daughters think that this statement of the two is ridiculous!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly became extremely quiet, and even the faces of Xu Jingzong and the others were shocked.
The reason why they didn't come forward for today's matter was that they knew that Li Hong must have a solution, otherwise he wouldn't have rashly written to the emperor.
But what they didn't expect was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince changed his gentle style in the past this time, and he was so sharp as soon as he spoke! No mercy! (To be continued.) )
