People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 1165 Same price
Li Shimin put down the writing in his hand and said, "You mean if I don't promise him, he won't do the next thing?"

Li Xiaogong thought for a while and then said: "Li Zheng didn't say that either."

Li Shimin sighed with emotion, "You said what would be the result if someone from the court came to handle this matter."

Li Xiaogong said in a low voice: "I dare you, if those who read the books of sages and sages in the court come to discuss this matter, there may not be so many benefits, and they will not be able to negotiate a price of 20 yuan a year. After all, they are too gentlemen."

Li Shimin smiled helplessly, "Too gentlemanly."

The chatterbox between the monarch and his ministers opened up. Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin were brothers on the battlefield and cousins ​​of the clan.

Among Li Shimin's brothers, besides Li Daozong and Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong is the only one who has a better relationship.

Li Xiaogong went on to say: "Although Li Zheng's incident is not a good thing that can be seen by others, and he has no good reputation, but if you really want to say it in your heart, I think Li Zheng can earn 20 yuan for the matter between Waguo and Goguryeo. If others don't I can definitely earn this benefit for the court, although it is not a gentleman, it is very real."

After speaking, Li Xiaogong observed Li Shimin's expression, and added: "Your Majesty, please don't blame me if I made a slip of the tongue."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "I can agree to split the bill with Li Zheng fifty-fifty, but I have one request."

Li Xiaogong bowed and said, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "If he can earn 20 guan a year from Goguryeo, I will agree."

Back and forth is still 20 guan.

For His Majesty, there is no loss, but for Li Zheng, it is just a matter of earmarks.

The next day, with Datang's promise, the Japanese envoy Hirano Wu was a lot more arrogant than usual.

Li Xiaogong came to Jingyang again with Jin Xun, the envoy of Goguryeo.

All the way to the back mountain of Jingyang, Jin Xun saw Li Zheng digging something in the ground and asked curiously: "What is Chang'an Ling doing?"

Li Zheng wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "There are some watermelon seedlings planted in the ground, and it's the season to dig out all the watermelon seedlings and save them and go home to cultivate them."

Jin Xun nodded slightly and said: "It is said that Chang'an Ling likes to farm and open up wasteland. Now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved."

Seeing that Li Zheng was still digging the ground after speaking, Jin Xun looked at Li Xiaogong who was beside him.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Jin Xun bowed and said, "Chang'an Ling, I don't know how Chang'an Ling is thinking about what happened yesterday."

Only then did Li Zheng stop his movements, sit down against the tree and said, "I've really thought about it."

Jin Xun still bowed his body and asked respectfully: "What is the order of Chang'an?"

Li Zheng looked at it and said: "According to what you said, after the Tang Dynasty helped you Goguryeo take down the Wa Kingdom, can we share the Wa Kingdom equally?"

Jin Xun nodded and said, "This is what I said yesterday."

Li Zheng thought about it and said: "Do you know? If we, Datang, go to take down the Wa Kingdom by ourselves, then everything in the Wa Kingdom will be ours. Don't you think your conditions are very contradictory?"

Regardless of whether it is evenly divided or not, Goguryeo cannot compete with Datang.

Don't even offend Datang at this juncture.

What happened to Yuangai Suwen before made Datang not have a good impression of Goguryeo.

This time, the King of Goguryeo specifically explained that as long as Datang does not make particularly excessive demands, Goguryeo can agree.

Li Zheng looked at Jin Xun and said: "I think you have a kind face, we can chat very well, and you are not as ignorant as the Wa people."

Jin Xun nodded again and again, "That's natural."

Li Zheng said again: "Since the Han Dynasty, you, Goguryeo, have been our vassal states in the Central Plains. Compared with Goguryeo, Waguo is actually more willing to help you."

Jin Xun slowly raised his head to look at Li Zheng and said, "Really?"

Li Zheng nodded vigorously, "Naturally, our Tang Dynasty also helped you Goguryeo to put down the Yuangaisu Wen Rebellion, what do you think?"

Jin Xun let out a long breath and said with a smile, "I can rest assured that the Chang'an Order said so."

After speaking, Jin Xun saw that Li Zheng seemed to be in distress, and asked in a low voice: "What is the danger in Chang'an Order?"

Li Zheng sighed: "Actually, to tell you the truth, I also have difficulties."

Jin Xun said: "What's the difficulty, can I help Chang'an Ling relieve his worries?"

Li Zheng looked up and said sadly, "I don't want to embarrass you."

Jin Xun patted his chest as if taking an oath and said: "The difficulty of the Chang'an order is the difficulty of the next, even if it is going up to the mountain of swords and down to the sea of ​​fire, I am willing to help the Chang'an order to share the worries."

Li Zheng looked at him and said, "Really?"

Jin Xun was a little hesitant after speaking, but still bit the bullet and said, "That's natural."

Li Zheng said: "I'm not going to hide it from you. The Wa people said they would give us 20 guan for a year and asked us not to help you Goguryeo."

Jin Xun said with some hesitation: "20 per year?"

Li Zheng nodded and said: "That's right, 20 guan a year. The Wa people said that as long as we don't help you Goguryeo, they will give us 20 guan."

Jin Xun thought for a while, stomped his feet and said, "The Japanese people have such vicious methods."

Li Zheng patted Jin Xun on the shoulder and said, "Yes, this method is very vicious."

With a long sigh, Li Zheng said again: "I didn't intend to help the Japanese people, but I am not the only one who has the final say on the affairs of the court, right?"

Jin Xun nodded, "That's true."

Li Zheng said again: "You said that the Wa people gave us 20 guan a year. Although I am not tempted, it is hard to say that other people in the court will be tempted. I am afraid that some people in the court will advocate sending troops to help the Wa country for this little money. What should I do? Is good."

Jin Xun's expression began to become tangled.

Li Zheng also looked dignified, "Furthermore, our Majesty Tang is also a civilized person. He also has to look at the situation in the court and China. His Majesty cannot have the final say alone. It is really difficult to help Goguryeo or Wa."

Jin Xun gasped, and quickly grabbed Li Zheng's hand and said, "Chang'an Ling, then what should I do."

Li Zheng withdrew his hand and dusted off his sleeves and said, "Actually, it's not impossible, it's just a waste of money."

Jin Xun said nervously: "What way?"

Li Zheng turned his back to Jin Xun and said: "The solution is that Goguryeo will also spend 20 guan a year, and Datang promises not to help the Wa country and will not send troops. There is a saying in Guanzhong called the addition of two evils, whichever is less, but When the prices in Goguryeo and Wa are the same, the court and China will naturally be in balance."

After hearing this, Jin Xun fell silent.

Turning around again, Li Zheng said with a serious face: "According to the grade, I should call you Brother Jin."

Jin Xun saluted again and said, "I can't afford it."

Li Zheng said again: "You and I hit it off right away, and that's all I can help you with. The rest is up to you to make your own decisions."
