Chapter 143: Li Shimin is shaken! All benefits and no harm!
"Really? I'll wait and see. ”
The head of the Li family in Longxi laughed.
This is a big pie, I didn't expect that at this age, I can still be painted a big pie.
Shaking his head, he continued: "Okay, no more gossip, how's it? His Royal Highness the King of Wei has already arranged the Turkic mission? ”
The strength of the Turks is obvious to all.
The first thing their clan considers is to continue their own inheritance, and naturally, their attention to the Turks can be said to be more important than that of the Tang Dynasty.
They had to be fully prepared to bring their relations with the Turks closer and closer.
Only in this way, in case one day the Turks break through the Tang Dynasty and go all the way south, the clan will have a greater certainty to protect its own inheritance.
As for the people or something.
It's just a bunch of ants, something they can throw away at any time.
"It has been arranged, and we have already negotiated with the Turkic mission, and everything is going well."
Wei Ting took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
Hearing this, the head of the Li family in Longxi and the others all let out a long breath.
"That's good, that's good, I don't know...... What are the conditions for the Turks this year? ”
The head of the Qinghe Cui family asked.
Everyone also looked at Wei Ting, and they were still more concerned about this matter.
After all, the court is out, and there are some things that their family will also come out.
When the Turks came, how could their people not show it?
Wei Ting said the Turkic demands one by one.
The head of the Li family in Longxi bowed his head lightly and said: "Not much, not much, even if you add another three percent, it won't hurt, as long as you can coax the Turks, you can." ”
"It's a big deal, if you suffer the people again, hehehe....... these things from the imperial court, it would be good if our clan also gave another copy to the Turks, in the name of our clan."
The head of the Qinghe Cui family said with a smile: "Yes, the primary purpose now is to pacify the Turks, and this little thing is not much." ”
He was also very satisfied.
"However, isn't this Turkic prince coming with him this time? He had a request. ”
Chai Lingwu said with a smile on the side.
"Turkic princes? What does he ask for? ”
The head of the Li family in Longxi frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "How much gold does he want?" ”1
"No, no gold."
Chai Lingwu shook his head.
"Grain? Or satin? ”
"Neither."
"What's that?"
Everyone's eyes were solemn, and they all stared at Chai Lingwu.
"He wants to ....... Princess Changle."
Princess Changle?!
As soon as these words came out, cheerful laughter immediately rang out in the lobby.
"A woman, hahaha, then give it to him."
"Let the Turkic prince bow down on the belly of our Tang princess."
The head of the Li family in Longxi waved his sleeves disappreciably.
"Tell Li Jiaerlang about this request, we are adding fuel to the fire, and he will definitely agree."
"Small things, small things, you all prepare, although it is not Li Chengqian who prepares the tribute this time, but it doesn't matter if it's him."
"Tomorrow morning, tell Li Jiaerlang about this, hehehe....... Li Jiaerlang. It seems that this time he is going to have a headache again, so many tributes, I really don't know how he can get it. ”
The head of the Li family in Longxi grinned.
"If you can't give it, then don't be the emperor, just right, with the support of the Turks, with our support, even if it is Li Tai, the king of Wei, ....... enough qualifications."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed happily.
….……….…….
The Turks entered the city.
This news spread in Chang'an City like a warm epidemic.
After all, this is not a small matter.
The people of Chang'an all know that their country is going to give a large amount of money to others.
They were reluctant in their hearts.
But reluctantly, what can be done?
Not to mention, when they first entered the city, the Turks were so disrespectful to Princess Changle, which really annoyed the people! Aggrieved!
But there was nothing they could do.
This feeling made the people extremely depressed.
"The Turks are menacing this time, that Turkic prince is really too much, and he actually provokes my Tang princess in public!
”
"Who said no, mother, I was standing next to me at the time, this group of guys is so angry, if it weren't for the daughter of Du Mansion by his side, Princess Changle would have been forcibly taken away by him."
"Damn, how could this group of Turks not be beaten to death, and dare to come to my Datang to do such a rude thing!
”
"Hey....... who can cure them, I've been seeing them unhappy for a long time, it's really ......."
"Governance? How to treat it? Unless one day, we Datang can win against them, but how do I feel that this time is far away. ”
"It's difficult, it's difficult, the Turkic cavalry, invincible in the world, the horror of three years ago is still vivid, damn it, damn it!"
“…….”
In Chang'an, every person has helplessness and deep helplessness on their faces.
They are unwilling.
But.......
Their strength is too weak.
It can't be compared with the Turks at all.
can only pin hope on the imperial court.
…….…….…….
Changan.
Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin sat at the top, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui stood below, their brows a little tightened.
They received news that after the Turkic mission entered Chang'an, they did not go to the Ministry of Rites to rest, let alone come directly to the imperial city to meet His Majesty.
But...... Instead, he went straight to the Wei Palace.
"Your Majesty, this matter may be ....... because in recent years, the Turks have come to the Tang Dynasty to get very close to the King of Wei, and they think that the King of Wei is the one who receives them, .......so this time they came to Chang'an, and they went directly to His Royal Highness the King of Wei."
The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"It's Your Majesty, this is not surprising, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has also helped to fight the Turks in recent years, and he is even more enthusiastic than His Royal Highness the Prince, he often deals with the Turks, so the Turks came and went directly to the Wei Palace."
Wei Zheng also agreed.
After all, they are all princes of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Tai is Li Shimin's own son.
At this time, it is impossible to fall into the ground, but to try to exonerate Li Tai.
To be honest, Wei Wangfu has crossed the line a little this time.
A prince actually meddles in national affairs.
His meeting with the Turks represents the face of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Tai is not qualified for this.
Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, waved his hand casually, and didn't bother to argue on this issue.
The reason why he was unhappy was not because Li Tai had privately received the Turkic mission, but because he met with Wei Tingchai Lingwu and the two of them.
King Wei has also begun to form a gang, and the relationship between the two of them is already so close with Wei Ting?
It's called not seeing enough.
Coupled with the intelligence that Jin Wuwei secretly investigated.......
Never mind.
Li Shimin shook his head, too lazy to think about it.
"The Turks are here, think of a way, how to knock them well."
"With such a beautiful glass shape, can't they be so cheap."
Li Shimin looked at the three of them.
Empty gloves white wolf!
Not only should the Turks not be able to take away a grain of grain from the Tang Dynasty, but on the contrary, they should be made to pay some price. in exchange for such a "baby".
This requires careful planning
"Your Majesty, this ....... hahaha, the minister has been racking his brains these days, and finally, the minister has a plan."
Wei Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, his brows expanded, and his old face showed a cunning look.
Li Shimin instantly came to the spirit.
"Oh? How to say?! ”
He hurriedly asked.
Wei Zheng pursed his lips, and ran to Li Shimin's table with the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui, and the four of them, their heads together, began to discuss.
Nothing was said all night.
When the white of the fish belly in the east slowly lit up, Li Shimin walked into the hall with a calm face.
All the officials are already waiting.
Everyone's eyes followed Li Shimin, staring.
Li Shimin's eyes were blank, and he gently swept the circle below, and finally landed on Wei Ting and Chai Lingwu.
"I, I heard that the Turkic mission entered the city yesterday? Wei Aiqing, is there such a thing?! ”
Li Shimin asked.
Wei Ting's eyes jumped, and he hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, bowed slightly, and placed the jade card in his hand horizontally.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, the Turkic mission entered the city and went straight to the Wei Palace, we were also unexpected, and we were forced to have no choice but to accompany them first."
Wei Ting replied.
Li Shimin nodded.
"So, I don't know, what did the Turkic mission say to King Wei? This time, the Turkic mission came to my Chang'an, what do you want? ”
"If Wei Aiqing knows, he will reveal one or two first, and when the Turkic mission officially submits his credentials, I will consider it at that time."
Li Shimin said suddenly.
This time, Li Chengqian's right to send Turkic supplies was revoked, and naturally, if the amount of Turkic supplies to be sent was to be formally determined, it would still have to wait until the Turks formally reported the amount to Li Shimin, and waited until Li Shimin agreed.
In the past, Li Chengqian could be directly determined.
Li Shimin only understands one or two.
But this year, Li Shimin has to make all the arrangements himself.
Wei Ting's heart shook slightly.
Here it comes!
He whispered in his heart!
But don't panic.
Yesterday, in the Li Clan's Mansion in Longxi, all the strategies have been discussed.
"Your Majesty, the Turkic Mission didn't know that it was Your Majesty who was presiding this time, so when they learned that the presiding officer was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they thought it was His Royal Highness the King of Wei, so they directly told His Royal Highness the King of Wei what they needed."
"The minister is here, and I have also heard that this time, the Turkic mission wants more."
Wei Ting spoke.
And this time, he directly increased the amount by sixty percent!
!
Li Shimin frowned slightly.
These numbers .......
Far more than ever.
This year, the Turkic appetite is too great.
"Wei Aiqing, have you agreed to these?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"Of course not, Your Majesty, the ministers and His Royal Highness the King of Wei argued with reason, and finally forced him to reduce by as much as thirty percent, and. It also brought a great good thing to His Majesty. ”
"Your Majesty, this is a list of the numbers left by the Turkic Mission, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to look at it."
Wei Ting took out a fold from his sleeve and presented it respectfully.
Li Shimin opened it and said while looking at it: "Besides, what is the good thing?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Turkic mission is here, Jieli Khan's sister-in-law Jieli Wolf Tooth is among them, he wants to make peace with my Tang Dynasty and marry Her Royal Highness Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty, .......isn't this a great thing!
”
Wei Ting narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
Rumble.......
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was in chaos.
And pro?!
And Turkic?!
Except for Chai Lingwu and a few senior officials of the family, the other officials were shocked.
is the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui, they are all wide-eyed and frowning.
This incident was too sudden.
The fold in Li Shimin's hand shook, his gaze moved away from the fold, and he looked at Wei Ting again, his eyes were deep.
"Your Majesty, in the eyes of the minister, this matter is harmless."
"I, Datang, now the treasury is weak, and the Turks do not have any strength to fight, and Her Royal Highness Princess Changle is not young, if you can make peace with the Turks, not to mention anything else, there will definitely be no war in at least ten years, and you don't have to worry that the Turks will suddenly go south."
"In this way, it has bought a lot of time for my Datang, from the closer, the Datang Turks will be a family in the future, and this Weishui Alliance will not exist, as long as Your Majesty asks, you don't have to give anything to the materials, isn't it? Think about it. ”
"And the Tang Dynasty and the Turks join forces, isn't it invincible in the world? Who would dare to be our opponent? ”
Wei Ting guided slowly.
At the same time, the conditions thrown out are more tempting than the other.
Of course, whether it works or not, it sounds very reasonable anyway.
Li Shimin's eyes are deep.
At this time, Chai Lingwu also walked out.
"Your Majesty, the minister also feels that what Wei Shangshu said is right, and the Turks are friendly, no matter how you look at it, my Datang has taken a big advantage."
"At present, the Turks have been growing strong year after year, and their strength has far exceeded that of three years ago, and my Datang has been plagued for many years, not to mention the increase in national strength, and it is thank God that it will not decrease."
"Now that I am close, it can be said that I have completely cleared all the concerns and obstacles for my Datang, which is really a great thing for my Datang!
”
The voice fell.
Hearing this news is indeed beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the interests of the world, Pei Lin also came out again and again, frantically echoing.
"Your Majesty, yes, don't hesitate, the matter of harmony is really harmless to my Datang, minister, I also implore Your Majesty to agree to this marriage."
"Moreover, this Jieli prince has seen it before, and he is a perfect match for Princess Changle."
Eldest Sun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui and others, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't know what to say for a while.
This question.
It's so sudden.
Li Shimin has no intention of looking at the number in his hand at all now.
And pro?!
He swallowed and fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty, this matter ....... still have to be carefully considered."
Wei Zheng stepped out of the column and spoke.
"That's right, Your Majesty, the matter of harmony is too sudden to produce a direct result." The eldest grandson Wuji agreed.
"Wei Zhongshu, the eldest grandson shoots, this is not true."
Wei Ting glanced at the two of them and continued: "This matter, since the Turkic group has entrusted me to wait for the early dynasty to raise it, then, the sooner the decision, the better. ”
"If it is delayed, at that time, even a good thing will become a bad thing, two, old man, may I ask you, is there anything bad that you may say about this matter?"
