Yonghe Hall in Linshuo Palace.
Guards in bright yellow armor stood on both sides of the road.
On the road, a civil official in his thirties wearing a Great Sui official robe held a yellow silk in his hand, surrounded by two military generals, and walked slowly.
"Xuan Messenger Xue Deyin is here!"
There was no eunuch's screaming voice, and the voice full of military charm and majesty came down from the main hall one by one.
The envoy from the Eastern Capital strode forward.
Above the Yonghe Palace, dozens of Zhao courtiers held wat boards, sat on a stool in two columns, and looked at the three envoys from the Eastern Capital in the main hall.
In the palace, Li Chongjiu was dressed in a crown dress and sat on a wide seat.
The three messengers arrived in front of the palace, and the official of the palace came forward and said: "Stop, untie the sword and remove the shoes!" โ
Ten gold-armored guards stopped in front of the door, three messengers stopped, and a burly military general behind the civil official said loudly: "My tile-faced gold-outfitted armor never leaves me. โ
The official of the palace said: "This is my Great Zhao Decree, and I also ask the two generals to respect it." โ
The civil official at the head said: "We are here to make peace with the Zhao State, not to cause trouble in the afterlife, General Qin, General Luo might as well listen to it." โ
The nostrils of the two generals behind him entered and exited, and the two tiles in the hands of the generals of Na Qin were put aside at will, only to hear a bang, and several pieces of green bricks on the ground were suddenly shattered into four petals.
"You." The guard captain guarding the gate of the temple was immediately furious.
The gold-armored guards all raised their heads.
The general surnamed Qin laughed and said: "I'm sorry, I was negligent at a certain time, and I forgot that this pair of tiles and gold is very heavy, but fortunately I didn't smash the threshold of your house." โ
"Forget it, Lao Qin, you are still so hot-tempered, I forgot how Big Brother Shan explained when you came." After another general surnamed Luo finished speaking, he casually removed the long sword at his waist and took off his shoes.
The general surnamed Qin said: "I just lost my temper." โ
The official of the palace said: "Xue Deyin, the messenger of the Xuan, has come to see you. โ
After speaking, the three of them walked slowly, and stopped thirty steps in front of Li Chongjiu's throne.
The head of the civil official said: "Xue Deyin, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, has seen King Zhao on behalf of my lord, and asked King Zhao how well Queen Zhao is!" โ
Li Chongjiu, the head of the head, nodded slightly, and said: "The emperor and the lonely are not outsiders, logically speaking, the emperor sees the lonely, according to the rules of the people, he should also say an uncle!" โ
All the ministers laughed together.
Xue Deyin, the civil official, said calmly: "My lord is very happy to hear that Princess Changle is married to King Zhao, and it is often said that King Zhao is a rare hero in the world. โ
Li Chongjiu laughed when he heard this, and said: "You are very good at talking, Xue Deyin, Lone knows you, the three phoenixes of the Xue clan in Hedong, your brother Xue Shui is the eldest chick, you are the eagle, and your nephew Xue Yuan is the chick." It's just that I don't know why your brother and nephew are all from Li Tang, but you are from Luoyang. โ
Xue Deyin said: "Everyone has their own aspirations, Zhuge Kongming is his younger brother, and each is a good story." But at present, I inherit the unity of the Great Sui, and Li Tang is a puppet dynasty, and it is really no longer a common day, if I and my brothers and nephews meet on the battlefield, only their masters, fight each other. โ
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "That's a good point. Back then, Xue Daoheng's talent was world-famous and famous all over the world, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to see it, but now he can see his nephew like this, and it can be seen that Hedong Sanfeng is indeed worthy of his reputation. โ
Xue Deyin said: "Thank you King Zhao for your praise, in addition to the orders of the Son of Heaven, I also served the orders of King Zheng in Youzhou. Since defeating Wagang, Li Tang in Guanzhong has repeatedly violated the border, which is really a big trouble. โ
"King Zheng? But Captain Wang? Li Chongjiu asked.
"Exactly. At present, the Son of Heaven has handed over the power of the military kingdom to King Zheng. โ
Li Chongjiu knew that Emperor Yang E's poor nephew, Emperor Tai, had already been overtaken by Wang Shichong, and now he was becoming a puppet.
Li Chongjiu said: "You said that the Tang Army has repeatedly conquered the border, but I don't know what the battle situation is? โ
Xue Deyin replied: "Three months ago, Li Yude, the assassin of Tang Zhizhou, attacked more than 30 of my Henan, and King Zheng led the army to counterattack, beheading Li Yude and his younger brothers, and won the award. โ
"Two months ago, King Zheng led his army to attack Yiyang and defeated Shi Wanbao, the general of the Tang Army, and Sheng Yanshi."
"Last month, King Zheng sent the general Gaobi to attack Yizhou, but the victory was unsuccessful."
Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard this, it seems that Wang Shichong does have some ability, after defeating Li Mi, he won consecutive battles in Henan, and now he has come to the north to unite with Zhao and put pressure on Li Tang from both the north and the south at the same time.
Xue Deyin said: "King Zheng said that Li Tang is an enemy, but only in the land of Luoyang, he is not able to catch it. And King Zhao and my lord are in-laws, that is, a family, and they can help each other. โ
Li Chongjiu said: "In this way, King Zheng's meaning is to unite with Zhao to fight against the Tang Dynasty." โ
"Exactly."
The ministers have a round, with Wang Shichong's power, and Zhao is now on a par, not to mention that he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the Quartet, under the banner of the Great Sui clan, in any case, the Great Sui is still the co-owner in the name of the world, and now Wang Shichong is coming, without the slightest condescending meaning, and the condition proposed is that the two families are equal alliances.
Therefore, the courtiers sounded very useful.
Xue Deyin continued: "King Zheng said, Li Tang is in Guanzhong, and King Zheng is based in Henan, and Zhao is based in Hebei, this is a three-legged trend. Li Tang sits in the east of the Bashu River, and the wealth of the middle, the danger of Hangu Pass, the retreat and self-defense alone to control the princes in the east, can be described as a monopoly, if you want to preserve the three-legged momentum, I Henan and Hebei must unite to preserve. โ
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "King Zheng's words are indeed heartfelt, what do the ministers think?" โ
The ministers and workers exchanged their heads for a while, and Shangshulin of the household department stood up and said: "Weichen thinks that uniting Wang Shichong against Li Tang is a good deal. โ
Weichen seconded. More than a dozen ministers stood up and chimed in.
At this time, Ji Chuan, the waiter of the middle school, stood up and asked, "Dare to ask, since we are united to resist the Tang Dynasty, what should we do?" And what should you do? โ
Xue Deyin said: "If there is a war between Li Tang and Henan, then Youzhou can go out of Taiyuan and stop the Taidao to block the reinforcements from the east and north of the Li Tang River." If Li Tang attacked Hedong, then King Zheng could send troops to knock on Tongguan to threaten Chang'an. This way of retreating and advancing can be that Li Tang can't take care of each other. โ
After Xue Deyin finished speaking, after everyone discussed for a while, they all nodded.
Shangshu's right servant shรจ Chen Xiaoyi stood up and said: "Weichen thinks it is feasible, but King Zheng must draw a clear line with Liu Heimin and cannot provide any help, otherwise it will be regarded as a breach of contract." โ
Xue Deyin smiled: "This is nature. King Zheng said that there is no conflict in our Zhao country, and in the future, the north will be certain, the land of Hebei will belong to Zhao State, and the land of Henan and Shandong will belong to Henan. โ
"So there will be no objection to the minister." Chen Xiaoyi returned to his seat, and then several officials from Shangshu Province seconded the proposal.
Zhang Xuansu, a scholar on the side, stood up and asked Xue Deyin: "I heard that King Zheng has great ambitions, can there be anything about adding nine tins?" โ
Xue Deyin said: "This is indeed the case. โ
Zhang Xuansu asked: "If you are not a powerful minister Jiuxi, you can't accept it, dare to ask King Zheng if he has the heart to usurp power?" โ
Xue Deyin said: "Prince Zheng is loyal to the country, it should not be. โ
Zhang Xuansu asked: "Could it be that you are King Zheng, how do you think King Zheng will not?" Can you make decisions for him? โ
Xue Deyin replied: "I don't dare, but this is my domestic matter, what is King Zheng's ambition, what does it have to do with you?" โ
Zhang Xuansu sneered and said: "Of course there is a connection, my lord and the emperor are in-laws, and it is natural for each other to be assistants, and if King Zheng does the matter of Zen and calls himself the emperor, should my lord raise troops to fight?" Or are they still allies? โ
Xue Deyin was asked by Zhang Xuansu, and he was immediately speechless.
Li Chongjiu secretly praised it, and his heart was really good.
In history, Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong allied with each other, and it was also repeated. At the beginning, Dou Jiande wanted to crusade against Yu Wenhua and, and Wang Shichong allied with him, and then Wang Shichong killed the emperor Taizhu after calling the emperor, Dou Jiande took into account the pressure of the internal Sui ministers, and broke off relations with Wang Shichong, and then posthumously crowned Emperor Yang of Sui as Emperor Min of Sui, and Yang Zhengdao, the widow of King Qi, was enshrined as the Duke of Yun, and played the banner of Kuangfu Dasui internally, and sent Empress Xiao to the outside of the Saiwai to claim to the Turks.
The two families immediately did not communicate with each other. So much so that after the Battle of Tiger Pass, Li Tang's army attacked Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande's subordinates thought that they would rather go north to the east of the river and attack Li Tang's Hebei land than to go south to rescue Wang Shichong. It's simply unprofitable.
At present, Li Chongjiu is very similar to Dou Jiande, he married Empress Yang E, won the support of the Youzhou scholars, the old officials of the previous dynasty, and especially married the Turkic Princess Yicheng, who was also friendly with Li Chongjiu, and prevented the conflict between the Turks and the Zhao State.
Therefore, once Wang Shichong usurped the throne and killed the emperor and the lord, Li Chongjiu was above reason, and he should draw a clear line with Wang Shichong more than Dou Jiande back then.
So what's the point of negotiating two alliances now, rather than this, not reaching an alliance is much better than the consequences of the alliance breaking down in the future. Of course, if Wang Shichong can endure for a while, learn from Cao Cฤo, and not do anything about abolishing the establishment, Li Chongjiu can also be regarded as having a reasonable reason, so that Zhao Guo and Wang Shichong can be reconciled and jointly reign against Li Tang.
But in fact, Wang Shichong, can he really do this? From the perspective of a traverser, he sued Li Chongjiu and replied no.
Li Chongjiu said: "Xue Huangmen, you go back and tell King Zheng that the Quartet is so Mercedes-Benz attached to the Eastern Capital because he thinks that King Zheng can rejuvenate the Sui Chamber." The land of Kyushu today has not been cleared of one of them, and at this time he usurped the throne as the emperor, and I am afraid that everyone will think about it. If King Zheng can promise to serve the emperor as the Son of Heaven forever, then please ask Xue Huangmen to come to Youjing again, otherwise the two families will never have to see each other again. โ
Sweat was dripping from Xue Deyin's back, but the two generals on the side all nodded together, showing approval.
"Retreat!"
All the ministers got up together, saluted Li Chongjiu, and retreated.
Leaving Xue Deyin at a loss for what to do in the lobby.
That night, Li Chongjiu was handling official business in Linshuo Palace, but he listened to the doorman's announcement, and the two generals who accompanied Xue Deyin to the palace during the day came to visit.
Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be secretly strange.
