Li Xin did not stay in the Li Mansion for long, and soon returned to the palace, because the Silla envoy was about to arrive, and the car had already arrived at Tongguan. It can be said that Li Shin and Silla probably had the same heart, and when Li Shin sent an envoy to order the Queen of Silla to meet with him, Silla also sent an envoy to land in Dengju, presumably because Yuangai Suwen rashly attacked the Tang Dynasty, and finally returned defeated, so that Silla saw the opportunity to annex Goguryeo and Baekje, so he sent people to come.

"So, Silla sent a woman as an emissary this time?" When Li Xin returned to the palace, Du Ruhui told him about the envoy of Silla, and Cui Yuan, the secretary of Honglu Temple, followed closely behind.

"At first, I didn't know that she was a woman dressed as a man, but later by chance, I learned that it was just that the messenger had already passed Luoyang at that time, and it was impossible to make her return. Your Majesty, it is really hateful that Silla has neglected my Tang Dynasty so much. Cui Yuan hurriedly explained.

"No need, Silla itself is the queen of the country, since she can send a woman as an envoy, presumably, this envoy has something extraordinary, and when she comes, she will come, and a woman may not be able to be an official." Li Xin shook his head and said.

In later generations, it is possible not to say that it is a messenger, even the president and the prime minister, but Li Xin is very curious about this female envoy, and she actually disguises herself as a man, and she doesn't know what the origin can make her so bold. At the risk of offending Datang, aren't you afraid that you will condemn her with a crime of contempt for Datang?

"Yes." Cui Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said, "The minister immediately arranged for someone to meet the envoy." ”

"Well, don't be embarrassed. I still need Silla for the time being, and I hope that Silla and Baekje will deal with Goguryeo? Is there any news from Baekje? Speaking of which, Baekje's territory is much larger than Silla's, and it is close to my Tang Dynasty, and Silla has sent envoys to come, so why hasn't Baekje moved at all, no matter how bad it is. It's time to get to Dengzhou! Li Xin said disdainfully.

"This, probably Baekje wants to meet His Majesty, and I still need to prepare!" Cui Yuan said in a low voice.

"Baekje, I don't need anything from them, I just need the other party to come." Li Xin's voice was very calm, and he said lightly: "I'm just worried that Baekje won't come, a little Baekje, if you don't come, it will be interesting!" ”

Du Ruhui and Cui Yuan glanced at each other, and the meaning of Li Xin's words was a bit interesting. Could it be that Your Majesty is ready to make a move on Baekje? The army has just rested, so is it going to take action against Baekje?

"Your Majesty is going to do something to Baekje?" Du Ruhui said.

"If they don't come, I'll do it." Li Shin's eyes flashed, and he said: "Although Baekje's strength is good, if you unite with Silla and attack Baekje, then Silla will serve as the main force. We're just beating a side drum and sending a message to Muyeongje that it's best to prepare for an attack on Baekje. Don't have too many soldiers and horses, 30,000 people are enough, but the generals who lead the army should pay attention, and don't send the old generals. The middle forces will do, let the generals be replaced, and the people from the military academy should also be dispatched, and don't study all the time. And learn to fight, understand how to fight. That's the right thing to do. ”

"Yes." Du Ruhui was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded. In response, Li Xin only mobilized 30,000 troops to attack Baekje, which was just a drop in the bucket for the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court would not have much of a burden. Moreover, according to Li Xin's urine nature, I am afraid that the army will be dispatched, and the grain and grass will also be borne by Silla, and the imperial court will only bear part of it.

"Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, places with big palms, are actually kings and hegemons, what a joke." Li Xin said with a smile: "That place will be a fief of the duke and above in the future, and which generals are willing to go, then let them go." ”

"I believe that those generals will take the initiative to go to the land of Baekje." Du Ruhui hurriedly said.

"Okay, okay, the army is moving, you still have to discuss it with the general." Li Xin said with a smile: "General, hey! I'm getting older, forget it, let's go down! Go back and let Sun Simiao go to the mansions to have a good look at you ministers. ”

"The emperor is sympathetic to the hundred officials, and the hundred officials must be grateful to him." Cui Yuan hurriedly said.

"Did Qinghe Cui Clan let you go back? It stands to reason that now that you are the highest rank in the Qinghe Cui clan, have they already invited you? Li Xin looked at Cui Yuan and said.

"I have been invited, and I am ready to go back at the end of the year to worship my ancestors, and the ministers will be sacrificed." Cui Yuan hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is unwilling to return to Cui's." The minister is willing to be the emperor's courtier, not a patriarch. ”

"As the patriarch, you are not my courtier?" Li Xin said with a smile: "According to the rules, you should be a county prince, but you are now a county prince, I am a little embarrassed!" ”

"Your Majesty, Wei Yuancheng is also the county prince." Du Ruhui hurriedly said.

"That's a good point." Li Xin nodded and said, "In that case, you should still be the county prince!" The court is still very good to the family, but the premise is that the family must be obedient, there are some things to do and what things not to do, you are also my old courtier, I believe you know these things. You also know the fate of the Lu family, and I don't want to do anything to my old courtiers. DID YOU KNOW? ”

"I understand." Cui Yuan's face tightened, and he hurriedly whispered.

"Very good, let's all go down!" Li Xin nodded with satisfaction and let the two retreat.

At this moment in Tongguan, a team of more than 100 people dressed in cross-dresses marched on the official road, but in front of the team were two young men riding war horses, one with a handsome face, but between the eyebrows, there was a look of fortitude. One is a little delicate, but there is a hint of charm in the eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains is very different from my Silla, in the end, it is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, although it has gone through war, but it has recovered quickly, and it has become more and more prosperous from east to west. Luoyang is like this, I don't know what Chang'an will be like. The young man with a more capable face whispered.

"I heard that the Tang Emperor was a young man, self-made, but he swept away the heroes in just ten years and achieved today's foundation." The elder sighed and said, "That's why I'm taking the risk." Seek the help of the Celestial Empire. ”

"Sister, if the emperor knows that you are a woman disguised as a man, what should I do?" The young man asked with some concern.

"You think that the emperor doesn't know about me disguising myself as a man, he must have known it at the moment, and he hasn't had a seizure yet, which shows that His Majesty the Great Emperor doesn't care about my disguising as a man at all. It's just that he doesn't know my identity, maybe even if he does, he doesn't care, what is the little King Silla in front of the Great Emperor? The woman sighed. It turned out that she was the Queen of Silla, and later generations called her Queen Seondeok. I didn't expect that Queen Seondeok would come to Datang in person at this time to meet the Son of Heaven. (To be continued.) )
