Not only Xiao Yu was worried, but Li Er also felt that this matter was very tricky.

Liu Yuan captured the princess of Tubo on the battlefield, it stands to reason that it was his trophy, not to mention that the overlord made a bow, that is, he killed and sold her, and others are not easy to blame, it can only be said that he doesn't care about the general situation, as for Tubo, it is not easy to say that Xiang, others use the princess to marry a five-grade petty official, and also give a large and rich dowry, and there are no special requirements in terms of bride price, from one point of view, it can only be said that Tubo is generous and generous.

From the bottom of their hearts, Li Er and Xiao Yu both recognized this peace, firstly, they could turn hostility into jade silk, avoid fighting each other in the short term, and gain time for the Tang Dynasty to prepare for the annexation of Tubo, and secondly, this is also a long-faced thing, just imagine that the princess of Tubo is just a five-grade petty official who marries the Tang Dynasty, doesn't it show the nobility and superiority of the Tang Dynasty? Besides, there are Liu Yuan's flesh and blood, from a human point of view, Liu Yuan can't be reunited with his own flesh and blood relatives, right?

"Xiao Aiqing has any ideas, you might as well say it bluntly." Li Er said to Xiao Yu with a trusting face.

Xiao Yu was born in a noble family, looked down on Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wen Yanbo, Wei Zheng and others, and often had disputes with them, usually if the political views were different from Li Er, he also refuted loudly, ruthlessly, was belittled many times, and was reused many times, but he never left Li Er's sight, relying on his ability, now although he came to kick the ball to Li Er, but Li Er knew that he must have an idea in his heart.

"Your Majesty, if you want to solve this matter, you need to tie the bell to the bell."

"What does Xiao Aiqing mean, and you still have to ask Liu Yuan about this matter?" Li Er asked curiously.

"Fei Ye" Xiao Yu said with a smile: "It is said that Tubo also looks like a fairy, known as the most gorgeous flower in Tubo, if General Liu is not interested in her, he will not have a husband and wife with her, there is a beautiful woman sent to the door, how can there be no reason not to like it." What's more, pregnant with his flesh and blood, the main contradiction now is in the Cui family, as long as Cui Shangshu nods, nothing matters. ”

Li Er said angrily: "I don't know about this matter, the question is, how to solve the position of the main room?" ”

"In the past, Empress E's daughter Ying, serving a husband together, regardless of size, has fulfilled a good story, why bother to divide the size. Let them be big or small, as for Cui Shangshu, as long as he makes it clear to him, it is only an expedient measure now, and he will come to some cities every day. Liu Cui's naturally continued to sit firmly in the main room, as long as Liu Cui's endured this breath. It is also a contribution to the Tang Dynasty. has been wronged, if the emperor does not hesitate to reward, then Weichen is naturally more sure. ”

As an important minister in the court, Xiao Yu naturally knew that Li Erji had already aimed the Tang Dynasty's troops at Tubo in the west, but now the new army is still being trained, and it is not yet time. I can't turn my face with Tubo for the time being, I originally wanted to drag it, but Tubo has expressed the greatest goodwill, even if I want to, I can't drag it. Rashly talking to Cui Jingsome about this must be thankless, if you want to negotiate, you must also have "chips" in your hands, no, looking for Li Eryu to report is to take some chips from him.

"For meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty, I will naturally not hesitate to reward, Xiao Aiqing, this matter will be handled by you with full authority, as for the reward" Li Er thought for a moment, and quickly said firmly: "You can give a fief, you can promote the lady of the order, you can pass Liu Yuan's title to the son of Liu Cui's family, if the children have excellent children in the future, you can also marry royally." ”

Xiao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately saluted Li Er: "The emperor is really sympathetic to the courtiers, with the emperor's words, the old minister dares to guarantee that this matter will definitely be a success." ”

"There is Lao Xiao Aiqing."

"Don't dare, if there is nothing else to do, please leave first."

got what he wanted, Xiao Yu retreated satisfied, he was a negotiator, and he had to be busy with many things.

After Xiao Yu left, Li Er looked at the strange gaze of Empress Changsun, and said with a smile: "Guanyin, you must have a question in your heart, if there is anything you want to ask, just say it directly." ”

"This is a major event of the country, and the concubine is a woman's family, so it is not appropriate to comment on the major affairs of the DPRK and China." Empress Changsun still does not interfere in the affairs of the court as in the past.

Li Er smiled and said, "Then you can just gossip, let's talk, I also want to hear your opinion." ”

"Fiefdoms, Jin products, title inheritance, and even the words of marriage with the royal family are also said, will the emperor's move be too preferential to Liu Yuan, if this matter is reported, I am afraid that those historians will be directly admonished again." Empress Eldest Sun said with some concern.

Becoming an official and becoming a knight, that is everyone's dream, but Cui Mengyao is just a woman, just sacrificed, and even said the conditions for joint marriage, this is too far-fetched, Cui Mengyao is not even pregnant now.

"As long as you do things for me and do good things, what are these, Guanyin, you also see Liu Yuan's role, that is, his appearance, suddenly reversed the fact that my Datang has been subject to Tubo for hundreds of years, and the expedition to Tubo is a stroke of genius, not only to save the face of Datang, but also to obtain huge benefits, and then clairvoyant, cement, miniature carving and other techniques, each of which is of great significance, is a rare talent in my Datang, and it is natural to be doubly enveloped."

After a pause, Li Er smiled slightly and continued: "If necessary, he can act as a link between the royal family and the scholar family, so it is not too much to give preferential treatment." ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled slightly: "What the emperor said naturally makes sense, and the concubines feel that the emperor's mood seems to have changed a little recently." ”

"Oh, is it getting better, or is it getting worse?"

"It should be more lenient," Empress Eldest Sun said with a serious face.

In the past, Li Er would not agree very easily, maybe find the eldest grandson Wuji, and the monarch and ministers discussed, it is not that Li Er is stingy, but that Li Er has the intention to suppress the Shi clan, and now he agrees so happily, even the eldest grandson queen is also curious, and her husband, who shares the bed and pillow with her, has indeed changed a little recently.

Li Erha smiled, waved his hand to let the palace maid retreat, and then said to Empress Changsun: "Guanyin, let me tell you a story, according to legend, far away, there is a heroic emperor, he is strong in force and far-sighted, and every time he captures gold and silver goods and opens up land, he is rewarded to his subordinates."

So, Li Er began to tell the story that Liu Yuan told him to Empress Changsun

Two flowers bloomed, one for each table, Li Er told the story of changing his outlook on life and the world in the palace with great interest, and Xiao Yu, as the negotiation ambassador, rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to find Cui Jing to talk about the item.

"Cui Shangshu, don't come unharmed."

"Song Gong? Rare guest, rare guest, what kind of wind blows you here, it's really rare. ”

"What Song Gong, it's so good, Brother Cui, it's better for the two of us to be casual."

Cui Jing said with a smile: "This is very true, there are no outsiders here, there is no need to see outsiders." ”

"Ha Lu Ha Ha" The two looked at each other, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.

In the side hall of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Cui Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Guo, were greeting each other, and a smile like a sunny smile appeared on their faces.

To tell the truth, Xiao Yu, who was born noble, thinks very highly of himself, like Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wen Yanbo and others are not in his eyes, because he thinks that these people are not from a good background, not noble enough, a bit like those "nouveau riche" in later generations, but Cui Jing, who was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, is very suitable for his vision, both of them are from prominent backgrounds, and they are also talented, and they are quite sympathetic.

After a polite gesture, then the guest of honor sat down, Cui Jing asked people to serve wine and food, and then said with a smile: "It is said that Brother Xiao is busy with the affairs of Tubo and his relatives, how can he have time to find the little brother Hanqi?" ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Why, can't you talk to Brother Cui if you don't have anything to do?" ”

"Welcome." Cui Jing said with a smile: "Brother Xiao is a rare guest, even if you can't invite it." ”

The two sat down, talking and laughing, and had a very happy relationship, and under the joy, before they knew it, the pot of wine had bottomed out.

"Alas"

Just as the official brought a new pot of wine, Xiao Yu suddenly sighed, and then gently put the wine glass on the desk, looking preoccupied.

"Brother Xiao, did you encounter something annoying? If you don't mind, you might as well say it, if there is something that the younger brother can help, you just have to open your mouth" As soon as he drank this wine, Xiao Yu showed such an expression, as a confidant, Cui Jing said with a cheerful face.

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "It's nothing, it's just that it's not going well recently, some people are too selfish, they only care about their own selfish interests, regardless of the interests of Datang, I really feel annoyed when I think about it." ”

"Yes, these people deserve to be punished." Cui Jing also said with a stern face.

Although not long ago, he led the minister to openly confront Li Er, but in Cui Jing's memory, he chose to forget it very selectively.

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "If they are as noble and bright as Brother Cui, then Datang will be even stronger." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cui Jing couldn't help but blush, to be honest, in his mind, the first is Qinghe Cui's, the second is Qinghe Cui's, and the third is Qinghe Cui's, what kind of national righteousness is ranked behind, and he said a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Brother Xiao, are you insinuating and deliberately making fun of your little brother?" ”

"Where" Xiao Yu said with a straight face: "Although sometimes the political views are different, but Brother Cui has always been conscientious, hard-working, these years to build embankments and dams, is to dredge the river, build water conservancy official roads, and recently built the Daming Palace, these are all merits, which one has not seen in the eyes?" When the country is in trouble, he resolutely sent his son-in-law to the front line, it can be said that he is talented and understands righteousness, if Datang has a few more virtuous ministers like Brother Cui, it will be really worry-free. ”

Cui Jing is in an important position and holds great power, and he usually listens to "sycophants", but what kind of person is Xiao Yu, that is the important minister of the Tang Dynasty, these words came out of his mouth, the authenticity is naturally great, after he praised it like this, Cui Jing also had some fluttering, and his heart was proud, but he still waved his hand again and again on the surface and said: "Awards, awards, Brother Xiao is to kill Cui, eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries, whether Cui only does his duty as a courtier." ”

"Hehe, I almost forgot one thing" Xiao Yu showed a mysterious smile on his lips: "I almost forgot to congratulate Brother Cui." (To be continued......)
