Chapter 529: Gains and Losses
The annual leave has just ended, Li Er's face is still immersed in joy, his face is much better, the first court meeting of the new year can be described as the most harmonious, the most relaxed court meeting, even Wei Zheng will not block the emperor at the first court meeting of the year, the whole court meeting is full of relaxed and cheerful atmosphere until the end, the ministers are gossiping in groups and leave, Li Yong turned around and walked towards the Ganlu Palace, in the Ganlu Palace, Li Er also just sat down in front of the imperial case, there are a bunch of concerts on the imperial case, flipping through the hand, and the chapters are basically congratulatory words, The beginning of the year is also the most idle time for him, the emperor, the prince said respectfully.
"Sage, Rongfu County Gong asks to see!"
Li Yong asks to see? Li Er couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, is there something wrong? It's just over the New Year, what else can happen? Li Er leaned back and said with a smile.
"Announce him in!"
Seeing Li Yong walk in, Li Er was also in a good mood, and at the royal banquet in the palace during the New Year, Li Yong, the son-in-law, gave him a big long face!
"Chen Li Yong visited the sage, this is just the New Year, and the sage began to review the chapter? The saint is really diligent! ”
Li Yong said politely, Li Er pointed to the recital on the imperial case, and said with a smile.
"It's all a celebration of the New Year, what's the matter, you're here today to congratulate so-and-so?"
Congratulate? Isn't it long ago to congratulate? Before and after the year, he didn't enter the palace less, and he almost regarded the palace as his home, Li Yong said with a smile.
"The minister entered the palace today not to congratulate the saint, but to fulfill the saint's wish, I don't know what the saint's wish is this year?"
Wish-fulfillment? This sounded like a novelty, Li Er couldn't help but sit up straight and asked curiously.
"How do you help someone fulfill his wish?"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Then the saint first said what he wanted, and then he could wait and see!"
What are the wishes? Li Er couldn't help but ponder when he heard this, he was the emperor and the heavenly khan, what else could he wish for?
"If you have a wish, I hope that Silla can send someone for help!"
Li Er said with a smile.
knew that Li Er's point of interest could not be thought of except this, Li Yong said with a smile.
"Well, then the minister will help the saint realize this wish!"
Li Er couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard this, and asked in surprise.
"Could it be that Silla's envoys have arrived in Chang'an?"
Li Yong spread his hands and said.
"Have Silla's envoys arrived in Chang'an? I don't know! ”
Li Er didn't have a good breath when he heard it.
"Didn't the envoys of Silla come? Then what are you talking about helping someone fulfill his wish? ”
Li Yong took out Yuangai Suwen's letter from his arms and said with a smile.
"Saints may wish to take a look!"
The prince hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter and presented it to the emperor, Li Er took out the letter and unfolded it, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Yo, it's Yuangai Suwen's letter again!"
Li Er watched it with great interest, and kept commenting.
"Yuangai Suwen, this kid is good, he has won consecutive battles, but he didn't disappoint someone! Yes, yes, this battle is good! Li Yong, your vision is good! If it really hits, Silla sent an envoy to ask for help, okay, good, great, hahahaha......"
Li Er held the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing out loud, at the beginning, Li Er was quite suspicious of Li Yong's vision, and felt that Yuangai Suwen was too young, even if he had the opportunity to take charge of the army, he might not be able to fight Silla, but he didn't expect Yuangai Suwen to fight so smoothly, and he won consecutive battles, and Silla had no power to parry, so he could only defend it strictly, even so, he kept losing ground, even so, Li Er didn't feel how powerful Yuangai Suwen was, but he just felt that Li Yong's vision was really good, at this moment, Li Yong's mood was suddenly a little complicated, Because the envoys of Silla came to Chang'an, it means that the battlefield is about to break out, since Li Er has always taken the conquest of Goguryeo as a dream, he will definitely not let go of this golden opportunity, although he knows that the war between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo is inevitable, but Li Yong is still in a complicated mood, no matter whether he wins or loses, the war will die after all, not that Li Yong has the benevolence of a woman, because this war is promoted by his single-handed layout, Li Er is very happy, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Li Yong's eyes were a little stunned, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Li Yong, why don't you look so happy?"
Li Yong said calmly.
"If you fight, you will die! This battlefield was facilitated by the minister, and the minister didn't know if he was doing the right thing. ”
Li Er couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he heard this.
"Woman's kindness! You kid is good at everything, but sometimes your heart is too soft, how can you fight without dying? And I, Datang and Goguryeo, will have a war sooner or later! ”
That's the truth, Li Yong nodded.
"The ministers also understand these truths that the saint said!"
Li Er said with a smile.
"It's good to understand, I don't know how the envoys of Silla can get to Chang'an, since the letters of Yuangai Suwen have arrived, then the envoys of Silla should also arrive, right?"
Li Yong groaned.
"It's hard to say by sea, but if you get caught in a storm at sea, you might be sunk. And if you deviate from the direction, you don't know where you went! ”
Li Er couldn't help glaring at Li Yong when he heard this, you kid can't say something auspicious?
"It's not the first time I've come to Silla, I've walked on land and sea before, so I shouldn't have an accident, so wait!"
Li Er's face was looking forward to it, and now, Li Er could only hope that Silla's envoys could reach the Tang Dynasty smoothly, and he even had the idea of sending guards out to search for Silla's envoys, but even if he wanted to send guards out, there was nowhere to send them! can only wait in Chang'an, Li Yong muttered.
"Sage, is it possible that by the time the envoys of Silla come to Chang'an, Goguryeo will have already destroyed Silla?"
Li Er waved his hand and said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the envoy from Silla comes to Chang'an."
Li Yong thought about it and felt right, Li Er just wanted a reason to send troops, as for whether Silla was destroyed by Goguryeo, this is really not important to Li Er, and even, Li Yong seriously doubted that Li Er would probably expect Silla to be destroyed by Goguryeo, after Li Yong left, Li Er didn't want to go to see the flattering recitals on the imperial case at all, but paced in the hall excitedly, still chanting words in his mouth, why didn't the envoys of Silla come to Chang'an? Where are Silla's envoys? Did you encounter any difficulties? But don't die on the road! Li Er didn't feel anxious before, but after knowing that Silla had sent an envoy, he had a feeling of impatience, and even felt that he was suffering from gains and losses. Li Yong walked leisurely outside the palace with his hands behind his back.
"Meet the Duke of Rongfu!"
Li Yong turned his head and said with a smile.
"Oh, it turned out to be Ma Yushi! Happy New Year! ”
Ma Zhou, known as Xiao Wei Zheng, is not only as upright as Wei Zheng, but also highly praised for his talents, and now Ma Zhou's official position in the court is not low, but Ma Zhou is from a poor family, so he has little contact with the nobles in the court, so Li Yong is not familiar with him at all, Ma Zhou smiled.
"Xia Guan heard that the county prince and Wei Xiang made a bet, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Li Yong nodded with a smile.
"Yes, Zheng Guogong did make a bet with me."
Ma Zhou said with a smile.
"Xia Guan has also heard Wei Xiang talk about it, the county prince, speaking of which, this year has passed, and it seems that spring is about to begin!"
Wei Zheng was not in a hurry, but Ma Zhou was in a hurry first, Li Yong smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Although I made a bet with Zheng Guogong, I didn't take this bet too seriously."
Ma Zhou Zhengse.
"The county prince's words are wrong, since it is a gambling contract, it is natural to take it seriously, if it is not a gentleman's doing, the county prince is praised by the government and the opposition, how can he tarnish his reputation because of this bet?"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Ma Yushi misunderstood, I'm not afraid of ruining my reputation by repenting, I just think that Zheng Guogong is a famous minister in the world, and he is highly respected, if he wants to go to my mansion to bear the guilt, I really can't afford it!"
Ma Zhou was speechless when he heard this, did Li Yong think he had won? But now that the New Year's Festival has passed, and spring will begin soon, there is no news of Goguryeo's troops, isn't Li Yong a dead duck with a hard mouth? Do you want to drag it all the time, and then the people who drag it forget about it? But everyone is not old and confused, how can they forget? Ma Zhou said with a smile.
"The snow is melting at the beginning of winter, and the earth is springing, does the county still insist on his opinion?"
"Hurry, be patient, wait!"
After Li Yong finished speaking, he walked forward with his hands behind his back, looking like he was winning, Ma Zhou didn't remind Li Yong again, he wanted to see how long Li Yong could drag on, sooner or later he had to write a letter to ask for guilt, why wait any longer? Leaving the palace, Li Yong rode a horse to the outside of the city, ready to go to the Shenji Battalion to supervise, the New Year has passed, the drill of the Shenji Battalion must also begin, a war is coming, if the emperor personally recruits, then he will definitely take the Shenji Battalion to accompany the expedition, as the so-called grinding guns are not fast and light, not to mention that the Shenji Battalion has been practicing hard, but it can't be slackened when it comes to the expedition, not to mention that Li Yong has double insurance, the Navy Combined Fleet and the Army of the Xishan Battalion, but the strongest combat power of Datang. Chang'an City is very lively, the city gate is even more bustling rubbing shoulders, Li Yong just squeezed out of the city to see dozens of horses in front of him galloping slowly, their costumes are very different from the Tang people, at first glance it is not the Tang Dynasty, but the surrounding people have already seen the people of Fanguo, so they did not pay much attention, but Li Yong looked at them with great interest, the people of Fantang came to Datang is nothing more than sightseeing or study or business, so it should be very happy to come to Chang'an. But this group of people looked anxious, as if they were in a hurry to enter the city, but there were too many people on the road, so they couldn't gallop on horseback, after observing it, Li Yong couldn't help but move in his heart, could this group of people be the envoys of Silla? But why does it look like the leader is a woman? Could this woman be the Queen of Silla? Could it be that Silla has already been captured, so he came directly to Datang? Silla is too unbeaten, right? It's just that this woman looks a little young, at most twenty years old, is the Queen of Silla so young? I didn't expect the Silla queen to be quite beautiful, I heard that the Silla queen can only be lonely for a lifetime, but it's a pity, Li Yong didn't leave in a hurry, but urged the horse to squeeze back to the city gate, and the soldiers at the city gate hurriedly greeted him and said respectfully.
"What else do you command?"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Ask where the group is from."
The soldier hurriedly looked at the group of people who were queuing up to enter the city, and ran directly over and beckoned.
"Come here!"
Jin Shengman and his entourage were a little surprised and came forward with their horses, which made Jin Wenzhi speak in a straight and round official language.
"We are the envoys of Silla, and we are sent to the Tang Dynasty on the orders of the king, and I am the envoy Jin Wenzhi, which is our document."
The soldier took the document and didn't look at it, but directly held it in front of Li Yong and said respectfully.
"County Lord, please take a look!"
The county prince? Whether it was Jin Shengman or Jin Wenzhi, their faces couldn't help but change slightly, and the dignified county prince was still guarding the city gate here? Li Yong glanced at it casually and nodded.
"Let them go into town!"
The soldiers at the city gate agreed respectfully, and watched Li Yong pat his horse away.
"Alright, you can enter the city!"
The soldier waved his hand, Jin Shengman, Jin Wenzhi and others couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they heard it, they thought they would be in trouble when they were called over just now! I didn't expect that county prince to let them enter the city so happily, this county prince is so good, no wonder he became a county prince so young, Jin Wenzhi asked curiously.
"Which county prince is this? So young! ”
The soldier said proudly.
"Of course, it's the prince of Rongfu! In addition to the Rongfu County Prince, how can there be such a young County Duke in the world? ”
Rongfu Jungong? Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, it turned out to be the prince of Rongfu County? That person just now turned out to be the prince of Rongfu County? Is it the best friend of the dog thief of Yuangai Suwen, the prince of Rongfu County? Just now they thought that this county prince was a good person, but they didn't expect it to be the big traitor Li Yong, yes, Jin Shengman and Jin Wenzhi, and even the entire Silla people all recognized Li Yong as a big traitor, because they already knew that the reason why Goguryeo dared to attack them Silla on a large scale was because Yuangai Suwen relied on Li Yong, the powerful minister of the Tang Dynasty, to support him, and he was not afraid that the Tang Dynasty would pursue it, and they came to the Tang Dynasty for help on this trip, and the biggest obstacle was undoubtedly Li Yong, the big traitor, but he didn't expect to meet Li Yong, the big traitor, as soon as he entered Chang'an, he met Li Yong, the big traitor, In fact, they should have thought of such a young county duke, how could there be a second one in Datang? Jin Wenzhi groaned.
"This Rongfu County Duke is really young, and he looks upright, not like a big traitor! Perhaps, those rumors are all false, and we can ask Datang to help if our trip goes well! ”。
Jin Shengman shook his head.
"People can't look like people, they don't know their faces, they don't know their hearts! Gao Jianwu is not a fool, he has always been extremely jealous of Datang, if there is no support from Datang, how can he have the courage to attack our Silla? So the rumors must be true, prepare for the worst! I must meet this Rongfu County Duke for a while to see if his heart is black! ”
