Chapter 1320: Negotiations between the two countries
Chapter Typhoon and Moon Land, a man's paradise, but also a place of conspiracy and darkness.
When the carriage arrived at Pingkangfang, it was already nightfall, and Li Qin got off the carriage and looked up at the plaque of the Qinglou in front of him.
This green building is the most luxurious in Pingkangfang, whether it is the decoration or the girl, it is the best in Pingkangfang, of course, it is also the most expensive.
Lee said that there was no pressure at all, because tonight was a treat for Zan Xiruo.
With Li Qinzai's character, it is impossible to easily invite others to visit the Qinglou, after all, Li Jungong's current status, no matter where he needs to spend money, basically no longer needs him to spend money.
Probably this is one of the reasons why power is obsessed with men.
Feng Su walked over and whispered in his ear, Zanxi Ruo hadn't arrived yet.
Li Qinzai frowned: "The guests are not active, is he planning to invite me to prostitute for nothing?" ”
Just as he was about to walk into the Qinglou, a passer-by in a casual robe came from afar, and when he got closer, it was Song Sen.
Song Sen smiled and saluted Li Qinzai, and then said in a low voice: "Li Jungong, Your Majesty has received your secret recital, Your Majesty asked your subordinate to ask you, are you sure that the Golden Tooth Department will be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Li Qinzai rolled his eyes and said, "How do I know if I'm sure?" After all, I will know after I have to do it, if I can predict everything, won't I be a god? ”
Yesterday, after Zan Xiruo left the Li family, Li Qinzai immediately sent a secret letter to the Taiji Palace.
Tubo, Datang, Golden Tooth, the three have formed a delicate balance pattern over the years, and now if there are obvious signs of compromise, then the pattern of the southwest of the Tang Dynasty is bound to be broken, if the Tang Dynasty can collect the Golden Tooth, it is a son at the key point of the chessboard, and the benefits are endless.
Li Zhi was overjoyed after watching the secret recital, as an emperor who was not mediocre, Li Zhi certainly understood the importance of the geographical location of the Golden Tooth Department to the Tang Dynasty.
And this also fueled the arrogance of the Golden Tooth Department, so they went left and right, wandering between Tubo and Datang, benefiting both ends, and at the same time, their attitude towards Datang and Tubo was also rebellious from time to time, but Datang was helpless.
Now that Lu Dongzan has passed away, the political situation in the Tubo court is unstable, and the new prime minister can't withstand the pressure of the Tang Dynasty, and there are obvious signs of giving up the golden tooth department.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if Li Zhi does not grasp it, he will be too incompetent.
Song Sen grinned and said: "Your Majesty said, no matter whether Li Jungong is sure or not, the imperial court will fully assist in this matter and help Li Jungong to carry out this plan, if it can be successful, the merit will be in the future, if it can't be done, Datang will not have any loss, Your Majesty said, please give it a try." ”
Li Qinzai nodded and said, "I'll try, if it doesn't work out, Datang really doesn't have any loss, and I can still prostitute for one night......"
Song Sen lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty ordered the Hundred Cavalry Division to assist Li Jungong with all his might, I don't know if Li Jungong needs the Hundred Cavalry Division to serve?" ”
Li Qinzai said without thinking: "Yes." ”
"Li Jungong commanded."
"The bill for tonight's visit to the Qinglou, Baiqi Division reported it to me."
Song Sen's face froze: "Ah, this ......"
Li Qinzai glanced at him and said, "Look at you like a mourning woman, your mother-in-law is not so painful to remarry, right?" Forget it, tease you. ”
Song Sen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Li Jungong, don't make this kind of joke in the future, the Hundred Cavalry Division is very poor, and Xia Guan was almost scared of a stroke just now......"
"There is indeed something serious that needs the cooperation of the Hundred Riders." Li Qinzai said.
"You command, it's easy to say anything but money."
"Let the Yushitai, Yongzhou Thorn Mansion, and Wannian County Ya all get ready...... Li Qinzai whispered a few words, Song Sen understood, clasped his fists and saluted, turned to leave, and his figure blended into the boundless night.
After arranging everything, Li Qinzai dressed up and walked into the Qinglou proudly.
Zhike stepped forward, and was just about to speak, but was blocked by the expressionless Feng Su, and only coldly asked Zhike to arrange a pavilion.
Seeing that Li Qinzai was extraordinary, he was like a cloud, and he knew that he was a big man, so he hurriedly greeted him diligently.
Li Qinzai is dressed in a moon-white robe, his face is like a crown of jade, and he is dressed as a merry boy, which is a natural match for the glamorous atmosphere of the Qinglou, and he looks like an old Jianghu at a glance.
Entering the door and going upstairs, entering the pavilion, Li Qinzai sat down cross-legged.
It didn't take long for Zanxiruo to finally arrive.
Zanxiruo didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, and apologized again and again when they met, and Li Qinzai smiled very magnanimously.
Be polite to those who invite guests, this is the minimum social etiquette.
Zanxiruo is obviously also a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, and after entering the pavilion, he simply knows the way, and when he called the acquaintance, he ordered to pick a few beautiful girls to come in, and there is a small music class to make some movement for the pavilion.
When the wine and food were served, the guests and hosts respected each other, and it was another polite greeting nonsense.
The young and beautiful girl sat aside, and her slender hands frequently poured wine, carrying food for the distinguished guests, and waited for the two of them thoughtfully.
After three rounds of wine, Zan Xiruo put down the wine cup and finally got to the point.
"Li Jungong, about the Golden Tooth Ministry......"
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "I wish to hear the great picture." ”
Zan Xiruo pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The Golden Tooth Department is the southern barrier of my Tibet, and it is really inconvenient to hand it over...... Besides, the golden tooth has always been a snake and mouse at both ends, and the wind blows on both sides, and if Datang accepts it, I am afraid that it will be chaotic. ”
Li Qinzai's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "So, the prime minister's decision is, not to give?" ”
Zanxiruo smiled bitterly: "The foreign minister personally wants to give, but this matter is not up to me alone, I have Zampu in Tibet, and there are subjects below, I have just succeeded to the prime minister, if I easily give the Golden Tooth Department to the Tang Dynasty, and return to Tibet in the future, how can I face the monarch and the people?" ”
Li Qinzai gradually understood.
The meaning of the words was to refuse, but there was room for it, and he heard the key words, and said that from his personal point of view, he was actually willing to give.
This sentence is the key, as for how to explain to the monarch and ministers in the future, it is pure.
In fact, the implication of Zanxiruo's words is that the Golden Tooth Department can give, but Datang needs to pay benefits.
The benefits that Zan Xi hopes for are not that the two countries will never fight each other, but that there are more tangible things, such as border trade, such as exchanging a less important territory for the Golden Tooth, and so on.
The negotiations between the two countries, of course, are asking for a sky-high price, and the money will be repaid on the ground.
Li Qinzai's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled faintly: "If the Tang Dynasty is bound to win the Golden Tooth Department, I don't know how to choose between Tubo?" ”
Zan Xiruo's face changed, and he said: "The Tang Dynasty soldiers are invincible in the world, but your country's main forces are now concentrated on the Haidong Peninsula, and the soldiers are also a long-tired army, if you want to take the Golden Tooth Department immediately, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?" ”
"The foreign minister said a paradoxical remark, the Tang Dynasty Emperor has been fighting for many years, is he not afraid of the people's resentment and social turmoil?"
