Chapter 487: Erase the Country
For the upcoming meeting of the three countries, some people in Chang'an City also put forward different opinions, they believe that this is already the situation, we should kill the past non-stop, only the land in our own hands, that is the safest land.
In response to a series of statements within the imperial court, Li Shimin did not adopt it, although Li Shimin often made trouble for Li Xiang, but it was also a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, if he wanted to make trouble for Li Xiang in this kind of major matter, then Li Shimin would be too unstructured.
Li Shimin knew very well why Li Xiang didn't send troops to fight him? After all, in the past, Li Xiang had already said several times that he would fight over, and now that a three-country meeting suddenly came out, it must be a change on the front line.
In history, Li Shimin is also an eloquent emperor, so he can naturally understand what Li Xiang means, it must be that the time is not right now, it is very easy to fight the past, but what should I do after I beat it? What should be done about the refugees from Goguryeo and the other two countries? Do they all let the people of Datang raise them? This is clearly out of place.
What's more, after all the occupation, there is the land of the Tang Dynasty, if we wave the butcher's knife at those ordinary people again, it will be difficult to say in the history books in the future, now we are only your suzerain, the nobles of the two countries still have a lot of power, and the matter of bullying the common people is of course handed over to the nobles of the two countries.
Therefore, no matter how loud the voice within the court was, Li Shimin kept all these twists and turns, and did not mean to approve it, and some officials saw that Li Shimin did not want to say more about this matter, so they shouted twice and retreated, and no one was willing to work against the emperor.
Five days passed quickly, and the place for the meeting at the junction of the three countries had already been built, and the kings of the other two countries came very quickly, and Li Xiang didn't let them wait any longer at this time, and there was no need to use bayonets to show their shelves, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the north couldn't show it?
In these five days, the armies of the two countries were in a state of high tension, the Tang army came to an exercise at every turn, and they regarded the two countries as imaginary enemies, and the border area was also full of wolf smoke, many people thought that the Datang army was going to kill it, but who knew that they were just going around the border area, but even so, there were not a few people in the two countries who were scared to pee.
Including the high-level leaders of the two countries, many people are ready to send one of their sons out, after all, they also see the situation of the Goguryeo Kingdom, once the Tang army kills it, all the people are slaves, in their impression, slaves are not qualified to inherit the lineage, so taking advantage of the fact that the Tang army did not kill them, they sent one of their sons overseas, which can be regarded as leaving some incense for the family.
Fortunately, they haven't done it yet, if they really send people back, according to the danger of sea navigation now, maybe they will be sent directly to the belly of the fish, and now Li Xiang has come to the negotiation site, which means that the Tang Empire does not really want to go to war, if you want to go to war, just send a petty official to come, why let His Royal Highness Taisun go out in person?
"I've seen His Royal Highness Taisun."
When the kings of the two countries saw Li Xiang, although they did not need to kneel according to etiquette, they also had to bend down and bow, which was the treatment of the vassal state towards the suzerain.
"Please get up, we don't have so many rules, this is an informal meeting, it will not appear in the history of Datang, let's take it easy, this is some snacks I brought from Datang, the two of you shouldn't have eaten before, let's talk while eating."
To the surprise of the two kings, they thought that Li Xiang would have to give them a dismount when he came up, but they didn't expect Li Xiang to be so kind, but the hearts of the two did not relax in the slightest, Li Xiang's kindness should have been temporarily shown, Goguryeo was turned into by Li Xiang, can they not count in their hearts?
"His Royal Highness Taisun Xie."
The two sat respectfully opposite Li Xiang, there were no other people in this tent, except for one guard each of the three of them, the others were twenty meters away, which was also requested by Li Xiang, after all, the two of them were only willing to show their subordinates at the moment, and they didn't want their subordinates to see it, if they were to see it and send it back to China, it would hinder the prestige of the two.
"I just said that there is no need to be restrained, we are all a family in the end, your two countries have been bullied by Goguryeo for a long time, and the Tang Dynasty is all in the eyes, and now that we have pulled out this nail for you, you should be happy, why should we be so restrained when we are together?"
Although Li Xiang's words were said brightly, he always felt so awkward in the hearts of these two people, Goguryeo had indeed bullied them, but it was just bullying, you have now led the troops to kill the brain, and if you are not happy, you may destroy us at any time.
There is no choice now, if there is a choice, it is estimated that these two people are still willing to exist in Goguryeo.
Goguryeo is at most a point of benefit, what you want here is the whole country, although you haven't said it yet, but the use of hundreds of thousands of horses, is it really for the show?
"What His Highness said is that the country of Goguryeo is really hateful, and it has been bullying our two countries openly and secretly all these years, if it weren't for the Tang Dynasty to call the shots for us, now our two countries are ...... miserable."
No matter how reluctant I am, I still have to act when it's time to act.
The king of Silla said while wiping his tears, and Li Xiang wondered next to him, are you a natural actor? It's really strange how you can come down with these tears.
"Yes, yes, we have been looking forward to the arrival of the prince for a long time, in fact, we should have come to see His Royal Highness Taisun a long time ago, but His Royal Highness knows that our country is also unstable, this time when the two of us came, we specially brought a batch of supplies from China, forget Your Highness smiled."
The king of Baekje was a little slower to react, but when it came to supplies, Li Xiang's eyelids picked out, it was useless to just talk empty words these days, and he had to come up with something that could move people's hearts.
The king of Silla also thought of this, and hurriedly took Li Dan out of his cuffs, Li Xiang pretended to excuse himself, saying that the Heavenly Empire has everything, you just need to have a good time, but the movements in his hands were not slow at all, and he directly took the gift list......
