Chapter 125 All Rebuttals
Seeing Li Chongyi walking further and further away, Li Zheng looked at Li Yifu.

Seeing Li Zheng's reproachful eyes, Li Yifu quickly said, "It was the county lord who said he wanted to see him."

"I..." Li Zheng was annoyed.

I really want to slap myself, if there is a next time, I will definitely not talk too much.

On the second day, Li Chongyi brought Lu Dongzan and Fu Ni to the village entrance of Jingyang again.

The officials from the Ministry of Rituals led the team, and naturally the ostentation was much bigger. For a while, there was a lot of gongs and drums, and all the people from Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Datang arrived, and Li Zheng was the only one left.

Li Chongyi asked anxiously, "Where is Li Zhengren?"

Li Yifu replied, "I'm playing cards with His Royal Highness the King of Shu and His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

"Then let's wait..."

Li Yifu sat at the entrance of the village with his people, from morning to noon, the sun was scorching.

Li Chongyi waited impatiently, and when he saw Li Yifu coming, he asked, "Where is Li Zhengren?"

Li Yifu said: "Here we come."

Li Zheng came slowly with a memorial, and said to Li Chongyi: "Brother Chongyi, please pass this memorial to Your Majesty on my behalf."

After receiving the memorial, Li Chongyi didn't think much about it. He sat down and said, "Then let's start? Today's negotiation will be presided over by Li Zhenglai, Hou of Jingyang County. I'll listen in."

After Li Chongyi said this, a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites discussed one after another, but they didn't dare to have any opinions.

Li Chongyi is the son of Li Xiaogong, so naturally he dare not provoke him.

He, Li Zheng, impeached the speech officer of Yushitai all over again, but there was nothing wrong with him, and he was still alive and kicking.

Moreover, it was too late for His Majesty to ask him to be an official, and he dared not provoke him.

Li Xiaogong didn't care about the Ministry of Rites, and now the Ministry of Rites doesn't have many people, only a few small officials.

Among the six departments, the current status of the Ministry of Rites is considered to be the weakest.

The kind worse than the Ministry of Industry.

It's good if you can mix well, don't dare to mix indiscriminately.

When Fu Ni saw Li Zheng, he was very kind, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look pretty good."

Li Zheng also pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, please trouble brother Fu to come to Jingyang in person, how dare I be. You can just wait in Chang'an with peace of mind. Look at you, the sun is shining, everyone is dark." .”

Fu Ni's heart was bitter, it was a good time to take a nap in the afternoon, it wasn't just because a large group of people were waiting for you, Li Zheng, that they were snoozing like this.

Sometimes it is really hard to guess what this Jingyang County Marquis is thinking, and every time he speaks, he is very slippery and confusing.

After exchanging greetings for a while, the two sides sat in their respective seats.

Fu Ni said: "I heard that Jingyang has a method of making ice, but I didn't expect it to come from the hands of the county lord. It is said that the county lord is a strange person, and he can make ice out of thin air."

Li Zheng smiled indifferently, "It's just that some folk remedies are not worth mentioning."

Li Chongyi cleared his throat, and the negotiation officially started.

Fu Ni spoke first, "Mr. County, the conditions mentioned last time were really not appropriate after I went back. I thought about it for a long time. I don't know if the county marquis will be satisfied this time. Let's listen to it." What is the condition of the minister?"

Smiling happily, Li Zheng said: "Brother Fu, I'm not talking about you. You Tuyuhun people should be bold and generous. Why do you mention some unreasonable conditions? Speaking of those sheep, the Turks give us tens of thousands of sheep every year." , we are all tired of eating!"

"If you have any good conditions, you can just mention them. I hope you won't disappoint me this time."

Fu Ni thought to himself, this Li Zheng clearly wanted to blackmail him, and he was so confident.

Naturally, the thoughts in his heart would not be expressed in his voice, Fu Ni first said: "The conditions last time were not bad, one is because we Tuyuhun attacked Liangzhou recklessly before, we Tuyuhun is willing to pay 50 guan for compensation, if It’s not enough to use agate jade instead.”

After listening to the first condition, Li Chongyi nodded.

"Second: Get out of the Hexi Corridor and never set foot in the Hexi Corridor again."

A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites nodded pertinently after hearing this, which couldn't be better.

"Thirdly, if Shangguo forms an alliance with Tuyuhun, we, Tuyuhun, promise and swear that we will never break the alliance and never use troops against the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation. Of course, I hope that your country can send [-] troops to help us wipe out Tubo."

"What does the county lord think?"

After Fu Ni finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

Li Chongyi thought in his heart that these conditions offered by Tuyuhun were indeed very good.With money and face, he also gave up the Hexi Corridor.

Seeing that Li Zheng didn't reply, Fu Ni called out, "The county lord?"

Li Zheng came back to his senses and said, "Let me think about your conditions first."

Seeing that Li Zheng had been silent for a long time, Fu Ni felt confident in his heart, presumably this time it should be aimed at Datang's appetite and there should be no mistake.

Li Chongyi took a sip of water and thought it was all right.

Fu Ni asked again: "How does the county marquis feel?"

Li Zheng laughed three times suddenly and said: "Brother Fu, your condition is not good enough, it is far from enough, and it is far behind."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Li Chongyi suddenly coughed violently, choking on his throat with a mouthful of cold water.

Several officials from the Ministry of Rituals also stared at Li Zheng with wide eyes. Isn't that okay? !

Fu Ni stood up anxiously and asked: "Xianhou, why don't you say it, you come to make a condition and we can discuss it together."

Li Zhengchang sighed, "You said that we Datang people are so heroic, didn't you say that you have studied in Datang? Why are you so stingy."

Fu Ni was dumbfounded when he heard this, and really wanted to draw his sword and kill himself on the spot.

How can Li Zheng be satisfied.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Zheng said again: "We can't accept the compensation of 50 guan that you said. This is not a matter of money or not. I hate people talking about money with me the most. Vulgar! Vulgar!"

Fu Ni nodded silently.

Li Chongyi quickly whispered to Li Zheng: "Speak well and don't mess around. This is not a trivial matter."

He gave Li Chongyi a reassuring look.

Li Zheng then said to Fu Ni: "As for the promise you said before that you will never offend and never use a single soldier against Datang?"

"To put it bluntly, this is bullshit! If we Da Tang help you fight back Tubo and injure Tubo, will you stop attacking us Da Tang again after you recuperate?"

"What if you, Tuyuhun, change the monarch? How do you know what the next monarch thinks? It's not uncommon to tear up the covenant, and it's rare in the past dynasties?"

"It's been said that the Weishui alliance is in front, why don't you listen? So, don't make such a vow."

Li Zheng said a series of words, and Fu Ni looked a little dazed.

Li Chongyi was also analyzing Li Zheng's words, digesting these words in his mind.

Fu Ni came back to his senses and said again: "Xianhou, you continue to say, the advice of the county will be remembered by the subordinates."

This Tuyuhun's Fu Ni has a good attitude, he thought he would get angry, but he didn't expect to be so calm.
