Chapter 13: The Goryeo Mission!
Hall of Eternal Life.
Li Xi squinted slightly for half an hour.
The emperor is not so easy to be!
Especially the Tang Dynasty, which is now suffering from internal and external troubles.
Li Ci not only has to deal with the twists and turns like mountains and seas every day!
has to deal with those treacherous and cunning courtiers in the court.
If it weren't for Li Ci's cultivation of the Son of Heaven Qi Technique, who could keep himself in the most sober state at any time, I'm afraid he would not be able to bear it now!
Li Ci finally understood how those faint kings in history came!
It's not that they want to be dumbfounded.
It's that they can't be saints!
After Li Ci woke up, he was ready to walk around the palace.
At this time, the eunuch hurriedly arrived.
"Your Majesty, someone is asking to see you outside the palace!"
"Oh?"
"Let him in!"
Li Ci's spirit was shocked!
"Obey!" the close eunuch immediately retreated!
A moment later, a man in silver armor slowly walked into the main hall.
The man's facial features were cold, and the whole person exuded a strong killing aura, as if he had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"The last general is white, see Your Majesty!" When the man saw Li Xi, he immediately knelt down and saluted.
Li Qi glanced at Bai Qi: "Flat!"
I have to say that Bai Qi's feeling for Li Ci is completely different from Cao Zhengchun.
If it is said that Cao Zhengchun is a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, forbearing, ruthless, and unscrupulous.
Then Bai Qi is a sharp blade full of murderous aura.
Whoever can master this sharp blade will be invincible!
Li Qi looked at Bai Qi and nodded slightly.
Whether it is Cao Zhengchun or Bai Qi, they are now under the command of Li Xi, with the assistance of two people, I dare not say anything else, at least I can ensure that Chang'an City is impregnable!
"Alright, you go down first. ”
"Temporarily appointed as the head of the palace guard!"
Li Xi ordered.
In fact, the most suitable place for Bai Qi is not the inner courtyard of the palace, but the border battlefield!
It's just that now is not the time!
Li Ci already had a relevant plan in his heart.
But planning takes time!
It is necessary to wait for Li Ci to free up his hand and solve the unstable factor of the feudal town festival before he will send Bai Qi out!
When that time comes, Bai Qi will open up territory for the Tang Dynasty and pay homage to the prime minister!
After Bai Qi left, after a while, Cao Zhengchun returned to the palace to reply.
"Your Majesty, several princes, have been ordered to go to Shu to provide disaster relief. Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.
"Really, those brothers of mine didn't resist?" asked Li Ciduo.
When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he immediately said: "At the beginning, in the palace, several princes were really not very happy. ”
But after the old minister asked people to kill a few people, several princes realized that the emperor's order could not be violated, and obediently obeyed it. ”
Cao Zhengchun said it lightly.
But Li Ci could hear the smell of blood in Cao Zhengchun's words.
How many people did you kill?
I'm afraid that all the people in the palace will be killed, right?
It's just that Li Ci didn't mean to blame Cao Zhengchun.
These princes and princes are usually arrogant and indulgent, and if they are not suppressed by iron-blooded means, I am afraid that even Li Xi, the emperor, will not be able to command.
"After you sent them away from Chang'an City, you came back directly?" Li Ci asked again.
Cao Zhengchun immediately said: "After the old minister left, several princes did not have other thoughts, but obediently went to Shudi. ”
"Moreover, along the way, they are all followed by our Dongchang secret agents, and the old minister will know about any troubles as soon as possible. ”
"At present, it seems that several princes are on their way to Shu in full accordance with His Majesty's wishes, and they will arrive in Shu in about half a month to preside over disaster relief!"
Cao Zhengchun said without leaking.
Before he came over, he had already learned about these news in detail, just waiting for Li Xi to ask.
"It seems that these brothers of mine have grown a lot!"
Li Ci sighed with emotion.
It's just that the matter of Shu has always been a thorn in Li Ci's heart.
Once it is not handled well, it is estimated that some hidden dangers will be buried.
"Let's hope it's still too late. ”
"Don't let me down, brothers..."
Li Ci sat on the throne of the dragon chair.
Cao Zhengchun reported some more affairs of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and then withdrew.
Li Ci was about to continue to deal with the twists and turns, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had something important to do.
"Xuan!"
Li Xi pondered for a moment, and agreed to the book of the Ministry of Rites.
"I've seen Your Majesty. "The Ministry of Rites knelt down and saluted.
Li Ci leaned back on the dragon chair slightly: "Something to say!"
When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard this, he bowed his head and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the Goryeo Kingdom delegation is visiting, does Your Majesty want to see them?"
Korea?
Li Ci groaned slightly.
Goryeo is one of the many subject states of the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of jewels and goods are paid to the Tang Dynasty every year.
Of course, Li Ci can also choose not to see.
After all, Li Ci is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his status is so noble, unless the king of Goryeo is in person, otherwise, there is really no need for Li Ci to see a mere mission.
"Okay, I know, let them wait in the Zichen Palace, and I will go over later. Li Xi said casually.
"Obey!" The Ministry of Rites retreated and arranged for the reception of the Goryeo mission.
An hour later.
Li Xi set off for the Zichen Palace.
"I've seen the Tang Emperor!"
The highest rank in the mission was a prince of Goryeo.
At this time, the Goryeo prince took the lead in saluting to show his respect for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ci waved his hand: "Get up." ”
Only then did the prince of Goryeo dare to raise his head and quietly glanced at the Tang Emperor sitting on the throne of the dragon chair!
The Tang Dynasty is far younger than he imagined.
The Goryeo prince even guessed that the emperor was no more than twenty years old.
It's just that although the emperor is young, the prince of Goryeo feels an unprecedented majesty in Li Xi.
It's like a brilliant sky.
Do not look directly.
Elusive.
"The Tang Emperor is not simple!"
The prince's heart tightened, and his face became more and more respectful.
Li Xi took a sip of the fine wine brewed in the palace and asked casually, "How is the King of Goryeo doing recently?"
"Your Majesty, all is well with my father. The Goryeo prince said in a loud voice.
Li Ci's eyes narrowed slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking: "It's very relieved to be so relieved!"
The meeting lasted half an hour.
During this period, the prince of Goryeo cautiously tested Li Xi's tone, wanting to find out the attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards various vassal states in the future.
It's a pity that until the end, he didn't get any useful information.
At the end of the meeting, the Goryeo envoys were taken out of the Tang palace by the eunuchs and came to the western city of Chang'an, where the foreign envoys lived.
Along the way, the prince of Goryeo had a lot on his mind.
"Your Highness, I don't know what is going on?" asked the prince's henchman in a low voice.
"It's okay, you go and rest first. ”
The Goryeo prince said with a frown.
"Yes!"
Suddenly, some of the attendants brought by the prince withdrew from the prince's room.
For a time, only the prince of Goryeo was left in the room.
However!
This time.
The look of the Goryeo prince was not only not relaxed, but full of respect.
I saw the prince of Goryeo get up and bow deeply to the empty place:
"Uncle Zu, I have already met the Tang Emperor!"
