Chapter 220: Response
Seeing that Li Er looked at him with a bad face, Wang Xiang smiled and secretly said that it was a pity.
If it weren't for the delicate Empress Eldest Sun, Li Er, the first emperor of the ages, would have been successfully fooled by himself, but the two of them joined forces and were invulnerable, but I was afraid that there would be no chance.
Li Erjing was much more cautious as soon as Empress Changsun reminded her, and she was not in a hurry to speak, so she picked up a piece of fatty mutton slices and soaked them in the hot pot, dipped them in the chili sauce in the small plate next to them, put them in her mouth and chewed them slowly.
Empress Changsun can't eat spicy, so she cooks a clear soup hot pot in front of her, but Li Er has a strong taste of Hu blood, and likes chili peppers very much, so she asked the imperial chef to pick chili peppers from the greenhouse to make chili sauce, and every time she eats, she will get a plate.
Wang Xiang was put aside like this, watching Li Er enjoy the food with relish.
After eating three or four pieces of mutton and seven or eight pieces of fungus and mushrooms, Li Er finally spoke leisurely: "I said that since I canonized the little girl in your family as Princess Ruyi, then she is no different from other princesses, as for marrying Fanbang......
"How?"
"Well, if Fanbang proposes to make peace, as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, she will naturally be treated equally."
Wang Xiang suddenly said urgently: "No! Then our second family shouldn't be a Ruyi princess. ”
"What did you say!" Li Er's eyes widened and glared at Wang Xiang, this kid was getting bolder and bolder.
"Canonizing the princess is child's play!"
Wang Xiang looked at Li Er fearlessly, and said: "Naturally, there is no objection to the canonization of the princess, but I will never agree to marry the second princess to Fanbangchen!" ”
Li Er suddenly blew his beard angrily and glared, his fingers pointing at Wang Xiang were trembling, and there was no one else who dared to contradict him like this except Wei Zheng, the smelly and hard old man.
There was nothing to do about Wei Zheng and Li Er, the old man was not afraid of death at all, and even looked forward to dying with all his will. Leave your name in history. However, Wang Xiang's temperament Li Er knows, he is lazy and greedy for life and afraid of death, but he didn't expect him to dare to contradict himself like this today.
Wang Xiang is indeed lazy and greedy for life and afraid of death, but if he touches his bottom line, he can also be desperate to let it go, and he believes that Li Er will never move himself because of this matter.
Sure enough, Li Er was angry. didn't shout "coming", just trembling with anger and drinking violently.
"Bold!"
"I'm angry!"
Chen Gui, who was guarding outside the door, only felt frightened when he heard Li Er's heavy drinking, every time Wang Xiang came to see Li Er, it either made Li Er laugh or made him thunderous, this time it was obviously the latter.
Chen Gui knew what Wang Xiang was talking about when he entered the palace today, and now he regretted telling Wang Xiang about his relatives......
The little son who was playing in the side hall heard Li Er's anger and wanted to go over to take a look, but was hugged by the palace maid who took care of her. At this time, how dare she let the little son in.
Wang Xiang's stubborn temper also came up, and in the face of the angry Li Er, he did not back down, stood up and said proudly: "The dignified Tang Dynasty, the country of the state, the kingdom of all countries, why do you need to make peace with Fanbang, that is, if you really want to make peace with the princess of Fanbang, it is also my prince of the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess of Fanbang, how can there be a reason to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty to those indigenous princes of Fanbang!" ”
This is the first time Li Er has seen Wang Xiang have such a proud side. He forgot to get angry and asked, "Who is the indigenous prince?" Why didn't I know that there was a prince called the native who came to the Great Pilgrimage this time? ”
"......" impassioned statement was interrupted by Li Er. Wang Xiang's momentum was frustrated, "The indigenous people are not names, they refer to barbarian lands, and their words and deeds are vulgar and uncultured." Miss me dignified......"
"Alright, alright." Li Er hurriedly interrupted Wang Xiang to continue his generous speech.
"The minister hasn't finished yet."
Empress Eldest Sun smiled, shook her head and said, "Zixin, sit down, in fact, Your Majesty is also unwilling to make peace with Fanbang." ”
Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Wang Xiang looked at Li Er again. I saw that the anger on his face had long since dissipated, but he looked a little helpless.
I'll just say, how could an arrogant emperor like Li Er be willing to make peace with Fanbang, and after sitting down again, Wang Xiang said: "Since Your Majesty doesn't want to make peace with Fanbang, then don't make peace." ”
Li Er glared at him when he heard this: "How can things be as easy as you said, they will definitely find an opportunity to propose peace with me at the court meeting in the next few days." ”
"They proposed. Your Majesty just refuses, what's so difficult about that? Wang Xiang remembered that in history, Fanbang's request for peace was often rejected, and it was not a big deal.
"Although the Tang Dynasty is a big country, the Turkic, Tibetan, Dashi, and Persian who came to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting this time are ...... The national strength is not weak. ”
Wang Xiang scratched his head and said, "Didn't Your Majesty already let people make the Heavenly Thunder Son, that is, what are you afraid of if those Fanbangs are stronger?" ”
Hearing Wang Xiang talk about Tianleizi, Li Er lowered his voice and said: "Tianleizi is very important, only Yuan Daochang made it alone, and he didn't make much, it is enough to deal with the Turks, but if it is Tibetan, it will be eaten ...... I need time. ”
Depend on! Wang Xiang was shocked in his heart, Li Er didn't plan to kill all these powerful Fanbangs!
Wang Xiang didn't think about starting a war lightly.
"So Your Majesty intends to exchange time for a friendly way?" Wang Xiang frowned.
Li Er's eyes flickered, and he shook his head and said: "Fei I want to exchange time with a friendly way, but Fanbang wants to use a friendly way to test the details of my Tang Dynasty, otherwise there would not be so many princes at once." ”
Wang Xiang said: "Then Your Majesty will be even more unable to agree to their request for peace, if you agree to them, wouldn't it tell them that Datang is not as powerful as they think, and they should use delaying tactics." ”
Li Er's eyes lit up, he glanced at Empress Eldest Sun without a trace, and asked lightly, "What is the delaying plan?" ”
"Doesn't Your Majesty need time, then let's drag on the matter of harmony, if you can't delay it this year until next year, if you can't do it next year, it will be delayed until Your Majesty is fully prepared."
"But you can't directly refuse their request for harmony, wouldn't that make it seem that our Datang is too blind and damage Datang's image of tolerance and friendship."
"Your Majesty, it can be said that there is no princess of marriageable age in Datang now."
Li Er shook his head and said: "This is not good, since those Fanbangs have the purpose of harmony, they naturally know the approach of harmony, even if there is no marriageable age among my daughters, then there is no marriageable county lord among the princes, besides, the little girl in your family will be fifteen years old after the New Year, and there are already many Fanbang princes who are inquiring about her." ”
Damn, is this forcing me to find a way, Wang Xiang despised Li Er fiercely in his heart.
"Then find a reason for them to retreat." (To be continued.) )
