Chapter 64: The First Pigeon in the World
Wang Xiaoyang, as his personal eunuch, said unhappily: "Master, I don't live in a good palace in the capital, I want to go to this place where flies don't lay eggs to suffer, and I will be harmed just like you." ”。
Li Tai looked at him with a gloomy look on his face and scolded him: "Stupid, if you don't want to go home, do you think eunuchs are easy to be?" I didn't know that the blind man had chosen you. ”
"King Wei, you are the prince, you know the difficulties of the common people, if it weren't for the sake of a round belly, who would be willing to cut off the inheritance."
Li Tai couldn't help but smile when he heard it and said, "Isn't that enough?" Are you going to be happy, willing to do a lot, don't believe you try? ”
Wang Xiaoyang hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the life of a slave is not as valuable as it?" ”
Li Tai looked at the carrier pigeon in the gold cage and said, "Of course, this gold cage alone has cost a lot of money, how many copper plates can you worth as a slave?" Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and wait, I have to write a letter to the emperor to report. ”
Using gold to make cages for carrier pigeons, only Li Shimin can do it.
Sending him out on the same day, this gold-made carrier pigeon cage made the civil and military officials talk about it, but fortunately Wei Zheng was not there, otherwise I am afraid that Li Shimin would not be able to step down mercilessly.
Wang Xiaoyang sighed: "People are not as good as birds, have you noticed?" However, I think it's better to give it a name, the emperor loves it so much, just like his own son, why don't you call it Li Jiaojiao? ”
"Phew, aren't you swearing? It's just a messenger, can it be like us? It's not a mother's, it's called such a woman's name? ”
"The little one is shallow, you get up, I'll be so good in the future."
Li Tai thought for a while, this is a good idea, but what kind of name should I give it
What about the name?
"In this way, since it is the emperor's beloved thing, it is more appropriate for him to name it, so I will write to him."
"It makes sense, master, you are now more and more able to invite pets, hurry up and write a letter, maybe the emperor is waiting to receive your letter."
Li Tai wrote a letter in a few words, stating the hardships and scenery along the way, and finally hoped that he could give the carrier pigeon a nice name.
Watching the carrier pigeon disappear into the sky, Li Tai's reverence for Li Shimin became stronger and stronger.
In the past, the imperial court used to rush the information to the front line, but now with this carrier pigeon, how many horses and messengers have been saved.
He is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime generation of celebrities.
It would be nice to have a mobile phone, but that's not possible, and you can't charge it without electricity.
The next day, the carrier pigeon brought Li Shimin's letter, Li Shimin told his thoughts about him, and praised him very much for proposing to name the carrier pigeon, and called the carrier pigeon Li Angel.
Angel. This name was so good that he also gave him the surname of the Li family.
It should be said that this carrier pigeon is the most noble bird in the whole world.
Li Tai immediately wrote back to him.
Feng Li and Xie Shufang, the two deputy marshals, saw that he had no arrangements for the next step, so they rushed to his big tent in a hurry.
Li Tai invited them to sit down, and then said, "Two elders, do you know them?" ”
Both shook their heads.
Xie Shufang was a little older, and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness King Wei, I have a suggestion, before the war, we have to hang a banner with a person's name. ”
"Why? Isn't the flag of our Tang Dynasty good? ”
"It's not no, these people are so far away from Chang'an, do they know what kind of city Chang'an is in the Tang Dynasty? But they know the name of General Qin, so I said that General Qin's flag should be added. ”
Qin Qiong again?
How well-known is he to be more famous than such a big country?
"Okay, General Qin is my master, and I am also a child of the Qin family."
So he immediately sent an order down and made a "Qin" flag.
The emperor's surname is Zhang, a forty-year-old man with a long beard, and when he heard that the commander sent by Datang was a boy in his teens, he was very angry and thought that Datang did not take him seriously.
An envoy was immediately sent to issue a letter of war to meet with him.
Li Tai looked at the envoy and laughed: "I am the fourth son of King Tang, and it is okay for a child like me to clean you up." ”
The messenger said tremblingly: "It doesn't matter what you said, you can only see it on the battlefield, King Wei, if you have the courage to go to our military camp, our emperor will obey you." ”
"What's not to dare to do? The two countries fight each other, and do not kill them. Even if you want to kill me, I'm afraid you won't have that ability. ”
"Okay, that's a deal. See you at the palace tomorrow afternoon. ”
Li Tai looked at the other party's cunning face and said, "Just go." ”
Feng Li and Xie Shufang, the two deputy marshals, were shocked and shouted, "His Royal Highness King Wei, no. ”
"What's not to do? My Tang Dynasty is a big country, I am a prince, if I don't even have this bit of courage, how can I face the people of the world? ”
He turned to the envoy and said, "Go back and tell your emperor, that you will definitely go at noon tomorrow." ”
"Okay, see you later."
The envoy left in a hurry, but the camp became a pot of porridge.
"King Wei is so sloppy, if there is a mistake, can the head of the last general be saved?"
Xie Shufang was almost crying, blaming him for not agreeing to the other party bluntly.
Feng Li was also restless: "Why do you have to agree to them?" If you have the ability to see you on the battlefield, their messenger is an ordinary official, and we are going to the King of Wei, and the identities of these two people are too far apart. Well, I'll meet them tomorrow. ”
Li Tai waved his hand and said, "The husband is right in his word, and the horse is difficult to chase." I, Li Tai, have always been a man of words, and if I let you go, people will definitely laugh at me. It's so decided, it's just a big deal. ”
"King Wei is bad, it doesn't matter if you have three long and two short, but we still have an old and young, you are fine, our two families will definitely end up ruined. Reputation can be worth a few cents, or safety first. ”
Li Tai saw that the two of them still looked like they were facing great enemies, and thought to himself if I was good-tempered, you wouldn't take me seriously, and what would I do if I was the boss?
His face sank and he said, "This matter has been decided, and if anyone persuades me not to go again, I will be dealt with with by military order." ”
The two deputy marshals looked at each other, wanting to persuade but not daring to persuade them, so they had to give up.
In fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart, but in that kind of situation, it was not okay for him not to agree to go to the palace of Luojia Kingdom, he had to have a particularly strong aura, if he lost in momentum, could he still win this battle?
When everyone dispersed, Wang Xiaoyang complained again, and said: "Master, you are quite inflated now, are you going to the enemy country, not to the Big Buddha Temple in Chang'an City?" You are rushing forward with your own life, you know? ”
Li Tai glanced at him, wanted to lose his temper, and thought again, people are for his good, if he scolds again, it will be too unreasonable.
