Chapter 642 Fight to Fame

Seeing this, the people next to him looked curious, and just about to ask Chen Shuda what happened, when they lowered their heads and saw the content of the "Bahe Treaty", they were also stunned.

For a moment, the entire Tai Chi Hall was extremely silent, and a needle could be heard falling.

Everyone's expressions were surprisingly consistent, and they were all dumbfounded.

A jaw-dropping one!

The maids and eunuchs next to her were also dumbfounded.

These ministers have never seen anything before, and it is common for them to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, but what happened to each of them now?Why such an exaggeration?

Looking at His Majesty again, he has the same expression!

Is this really the hell?

half an hour.

"hiss……"

There was a sound of breathing in the hall.

"This……"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't even speak.

Li Er asked: "My dear friends, what do you think of the "Bahe Treaty", is the punishment too light?"

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "Du He, you are too cruel. This is not a treaty. This is clearly to make Dongying subjugate the country. Five million guan is not much for Tang Dynasty, but Yichen is against Dongying." As far as I know, the annual tax of Dongying is only about 500 million guan, which is the tax of Dongying for five years!"

"My lord grandson, what are taxes? From then on, the Emperor of Dongying needs His Majesty's consent to ascend the throne. It seems nothing, but if His Majesty does not approve of a newly enthroned emperor, and Dongying still forcibly ascends the throne, we Tang Dynasty You can send troops to attack Dongpu!"

"500 million guan, bowing your head and bowing your head is already ruthless enough. I didn't expect that 40% of the profits from Dongying's transaction with Datang would be handed over to Datang for free. This means that Datang will have a continuous source of income in the future. Ah, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has already calculated that in the eighth year of Zhenguan, the trading profit between Dongying and Datang is about [-] guan, which is almost half of Dongying's domestic taxes, so Dongying has been actively cooperating with Datang over the years. Tang trade, [-]% of it, that is [-] guan, [-] guan, enough to spend a year in the court and Chang'an..."

……

Suddenly, someone from Yushitai jumped out: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. I think that Du He's actions really hurt the face of the Tang Dynasty. China has been a state of etiquette since ancient times. I pay attention to convincing people with virtue and treating others generously. Now Du He, the Duke of Huyi County, actually forced Dongying to sign such a power-threatening and humiliating treaty. What is the difference between this and a robber? It is a robber, a thief. If Datang recognizes this treaty, how will Datang convince the public? Public outrage, Your Majesty, think twice! Especially the last one, Dongying pays tribute to our Datang one hundred young women every year, how do we arrange these girls? Is my Datang going to force young girls into prostitution and put all these girls in Pingkang Fang? "

"Master Zhang is right. This treaty is too harsh. As Master Changsun said, this is to force Dongying to destroy the country!"

"Seconded!"

"My minister agrees!"

Immediately, more than a dozen people jumped out to accuse.

Yang Yuhua finally seized the opportunity and said angrily: "Your Majesty, if you accept this treaty, then those states that have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty will all rebel. At that time, all these small countries will unite. Many generals, but two fists are no match for four hands, when the time comes, how will it end?"

"Yes, Master Yang is right!"

"In this matter, Dongpu's resistance is second. I'm afraid that other countries will resist and even rise up against Datang. At that time, it will be troublesome!"

"Seconded!"

Situ Wanggui said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think that you must guard against what your lords said. If small countries such as Goguryeo, Nanzhao, and Uighur know the content of this treaty, they will definitely resist to the end. It will not end well at that time. I implore Your Majesty to think twice, destroy this treaty, and send an old and prudent minister to renegotiate with Su Woyazi and sign another treaty!"

"Support Wang Situ!"

"Wang Situ is right!"

There are quite a few supporters of Wang Gui. At present, many people stand up and support Wang Gui.

At this moment, a guard rushed in and said, "I report to Your Majesty, the envoys from Goguryeo, Nanzhao, and Uighur, a total of eighteen countries, all gathered at the gate of the imperial city, saying that they have something important to see Your Majesty!"

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone panicked.

Does this mean that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive?
An official from the Ministry of Rites said: "Your Majesty, this treaty has probably been circulated in the process of copying. Now that so many envoys from small countries are gathered together, they must come to oppose this treaty!"

Li Er was not flustered, his expression was normal, he waved his hand: "Let them in!"

Not long after, envoys from eighteen small countries came to the Tai Chi Hall in a mighty manner and saluted Li Er one after another.

The ministers looked at each other, as if feeling the anger of the envoys.

Li Er asked in a deep voice: "You are so full of desire to see me, why?"

Envoys, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the Uighur envoy stood up first: "Tian Khan, my Uighur has good weather this year, and the cattle and sheep are fat. Three hundred cattle, five hundred sheep, and three hundred high-quality horses are offered as a tribute to the Heavenly Khan, and the Heavenly Khan will accept them with a smile!"

what?
Wang Gui and the others froze for a moment.

Didn't the Uighur envoys come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?
But to pay tribute?
Although these things are not many, but with Uighur's strength, it is really rare to be able to produce so many things at once, and it is simply too sincere.

Before everyone could react, the envoy of Goguryeo said: "Your Majesty, the people of Goguryeo also love Your Majesty, so this time I will pay tribute to two plants of Wannian ginseng and three pearls..."

Then came the Nanzhao envoy: "Nanzhao paid tribute to three giant elephants..."

The envoys of the eighteen small countries, as if they were discussing, were all here to pay tribute, and their attitudes were sincere, even a little too polite.

The ministers of military and military affairs of the DPRK and Chinese were all stunned.

How is this going?

Wang Gui couldn't help it, and asked curiously: "Everyone, it's not the end of the year, and it's not the time to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid it's not as simple as just paying tribute, right?"

The Nanzhao envoy thought for a while and said: "What Wang Situ said is very true. I am waiting to pay tribute at this moment to show His Majesty that we will always follow the Tang Dynasty, always follow His Majesty, and will never be as ignorant as Dongying...Actually. , and one more request..."

The envoy hesitated.

Li Er was in a good mood and asked, "Oh? What request?"

The Nanzhao envoy said: "Your Majesty, Nanzhao has a request, that is, if there is any misunderstanding between Nanzhao and Datang in the future, please Your Majesty, for the sake of Nanzhao's sincerity, do not send Du He, Duke of Huyi County Negotiate with Nanzhao!"

"Uyghur too!"

"And we..."

"Da Yueshi also has such a request!"

Everyone's request is the same, don't send Duhe.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't laugh or cry.

Du He became famous in one battle, but it's just... notoriety!
