If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger.

This expedition was a major event in his life, and he had to fight a good battle. Datang is full of talents, and it is true that he does not need a person of his status to be born and die, but this is his personal need.

It doesn't matter if he is killed by the emperor of Luo Jiaguo. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. He was originally a man who had died once, so what if he died again?

Feng Li and Xie Shufang, the two deputy marshals, were terrified, and they especially regretted that they should not agree to Li Tai as the deputy marshal.

The two complained that their fate was not good, and the master who had followed before returned to the west, and now tied the fate of the two people to the king of Wei, he didn't know the importance of it, and he had to go to the enemy country as a messenger.

They know very well that the Luojia country is a nomadic people, and the people have a fierce personality, and Li Tai is undoubtedly in the mouth of the sheep, and there is no return.

"Lao Xie, what do you say you should do? If he is gone, the emperor still has a lot of sons, if we are gone, our children will have no father, and our wives will have no husband, do you think about it? ”

Xie Shufang was also at a loss: "What is my problem?" We are princes, and we are birds. Brother Feng, we can only wait to be punished. ”

"The emperor is really, just have the two of us go on the expedition, we have experienced a hundred battles, we haven't seen any scenes, we have to get such a little hairy boy, there is more than enough success and more than failure."

"Who's to say it isn't? This Li Tai is more favored by the emperor than the crown prince, if something happens to him, can we still live? ”

The two of them complained, but what could be done?

Suddenly, Feng Li patted his thigh and said, "Lao Xie, you can tell the emperor, so that even if something happens to him, we can evade responsibility." ”

When Xie Shufang heard that it made sense, he patted Feng Li on the shoulder and said, "Okay, just do it, you fix the book immediately, and I will report to King Wei." ”

Feng immediately took a pen and ink to write a letter.

Xie Shufang came to Li Tai and said that the two of them had a preliminary plan for the war and needed to report to the imperial court, so that the carrier pigeon Li Angel could make a trip.

The deputy marshal made a request, and of course Li Tai, as the coach, could not refuse.

When the news that Li Tai was going to go to Luojia Kingdom as an envoy single-handedly reached Li Shimin's ears, he was furious and immediately ordered Wei Chi to set off for the battlefield overnight and drive to the battlefield in person.

Empress Eldest Sun was very opposed: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the wedding of the crown prince, and you can't be absent as a father." ”

"It's just a wedding, and that's comparable to Tair's life. Don't worry, you are the queen, I am relieved to have you. ”

Empress Eldest Sun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, they are all sons, can't you be too partial?" This would hurt their brother's feelings. ”

Li Shimin twisted his beard and said: "The palms and backs of the hands are all meat, they are all your and my children, how can I be partial?" Tyer's first time in the army, how dangerous it is for him to go into the enemy country alone. I have to leave immediately, and if I delay the time, I am afraid that you and I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

Wei Chi Jingde also stopped him: "Your Majesty, the prince's wedding is a national event, and it is the duty of the last general to fight on the battlefield. ”

Li Shimin was willing to say: "General Wei Chi, you are also a father, you have to understand me." I especially regret letting the King of Wei go on the expedition, there are countless excellent soldiers in the court, and he is still so young that he knows the truth that swords and arrows are not long-sighted. Departure. ”

Li Tai, who was far away in Luojia, was confident, and he didn't believe that the emperor of Luojia would kill him.

He took out a copy of Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" from his luggage and admired it for a long time, and said to himself: "I believe that this pair of characters can be completely fake, and no one will refuse such a heavy gift." ”

Originally, he only wanted to admire his masterpiece in his spare time, but he did not expect such a thing to happen, and in order to protect himself, it would only be good and not bad to bring this masterpiece with him.

He came to the city gate of Luojia Kingdom on time at noon, and Wang Xiaoyang, as his personal eunuch, stopped him when he entered the city gate.

"King Wei, we have been waiting in the palace for a long time."

The envoy named Cheng Wenjun had a sly smile on his face.

Li Tai held calligraphy in his hand and strode after him, admiring the scenery of the city.

"King Wei is young and high-spirited, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future."

"Mr. Cheng has won the award, my brothers and brothers are quite good, the tiger father has no dogs, I am the worst of our brothers."

Cheng Wenjun said with a smile: "King Wei is so humble, so I admire it." ”

Not long after entering the palace of the Luo Jia Kingdom, the ministers of the court and the central government lined up on both sides of the main hall, and everyone looked at him like monsters.

A man with a long beard in his forties was sitting in the center of the main hall, and Li Tai stepped forward, bowed and said: "Li Tai, the king of Wei in the Tang Dynasty, came to meet the emperor of Luojiaguo, and specially presented a calligraphy and painting as a meeting gift. ”

The emperor said very arrogantly: "I heard that Chang'an City is a rich land, and you want to send me away with just a calligraphy and painting?" ”

"Your Majesty, do you know the Eastern Jin Dynasty Book Saint Wang Xizhi?"

The emperor, who was sitting in the center of the main hall, immediately came to the spirit: "I know, I heard that his calligraphy of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is a miracle in the world? ”

"Oh, really? Present. ”

Li Tai handed the calligraphy to the eunuch, and the emperor read it and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is a priceless treasure, come and give a seat." ”

Li Tai looked at him with a long face and thought, what a bastard, he can't even tell the truth from the fake.

Li Tai hurriedly said: "You don't have to sit. Your Majesty, your country has been harassing the border of the Tang Dynasty, why is that? Luojia is a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty, what are your intentions in offending our country, please say it directly. ”

The emperor looked at the calligraphy with his eyes and said, "Is the King of Wei coming to compete with us this time?" ”

"Exactly, now that Datang is a world-class power, how can you allow small countries to make waves, when today's son is decided, if it weren't for the recent major events in the DPRK, he would definitely drive the expedition in person, kill chickens and monkeys, and set an example for other countries. If you insist on hitting an egg with a stone, we'll see you on the battlefield. ”

The emperor stood up and said: "The king of Wei has misunderstood, the people who make small moves at the border pass are nothing more than Diao Min, we respect the Tang Dynasty very much, we just want to coexist peacefully, how dare we think about it?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's too late for you to have such an idea, my 50,000 iron horsemen are eager to try, we don't want to get along with others as neighbors, you should be ready for war. Leave! ”

After Li Tai finished speaking, he turned around and left, treating the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty as nothing.

Emperor Luo Jia said loudly: "King Wei is not in a hurry, Lian still has something to say." ”

Li Taifang turned around and asked, "Your Majesty won't want to kill this king, right?" I'm not afraid. ”

The Emperor laughed and said, "How so? My soldiers see a Qinzi banner in your camp, who is it? ”

"Qin Qiong, Duke of Yiguo, I am his closed disciple, do you still have questions? I think that the problems between us need to be solved on the battlefield, so there is no need to talk in vain here. ”

The emperor asked with a look of surprise on his face: "Qin Qiong is a good man, where is he?" Are you his apprentice? Why? “
