Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 266 Chapter 275: Evil comes from the guts

"What! This king is willful and reckless? This king doesn't put state affairs first?" Nuo Hebo immediately became angry when he heard this, and stared resentfully and shouted, "You have been in charge of the government all these years, no matter what Even if this king has made a decision, as long as you shake your head, you can’t do it. Six years ago, this king was really young, and he listened to you all. Now that this king is so old, he still has to listen to you. Tell me King, is this king still the king of Tuyuhun?"

King Xuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and his eyebrows frowned immediately. He didn't expect Nuo Hebo to be so ignorant, he worked hard for the country with all his heart, but he thought it was a dictatorship, and he broke out on such an important day today. Fortunately, he was the one who came out. If he were any ambitious person, it is estimated that the king Nuohebo would have done it too.

Nuohebo's depression for many years erupted together, and he continued to shout: "You said, although this king proposed the etiquette for welcoming the princess, did you approve it, but now you come to tell this king that you have changed your mind?" Why do you want me to go out of the city to meet you in person!"

King Xuan slowly closed his eyes, and kept persuading himself in his mind to be calm, to be calm, don't argue with him, if the monarch and ministers have disputes, the country will be in turmoil.King Xuan was actually very angry and disappointed. Over the years, he had worked hard to save the dilapidated Tuyuhun from the brink of death, and taught this ignorant child how to become a good king. However, judging from Nuohebo's current performance, he It seems that he didn't understand his painstaking efforts, and even regarded him as a treacherous minister who exercised power and dictatorship, how sad.

After being silent for a long time, King Xuan decided to take a step back temporarily, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it is my fault to welcome the princess. This time, I ask your majesty to make a personal decision, and I will do it according to your majesty's wishes."

"Okay! That's what you said! Don't go back on your word." Nuo Hebo's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said loudly, "Go and tell the wedding envoy of the Tang Dynasty, my king will never go out of the city to meet the Tang Dynasty Princess, and, in the future, I, Tuyuhun, will no longer pay tribute to the Emperor of Tang, and Tuyuhun is no longer a vassal state of Tang!"

"Your Majesty! Please think twice!" King Xuan trembled when he heard the words, and cried out in pain.

"What!" Nuo Hebo asked angrily with staring eyes, "You just finished speaking, do you want to go back on your word now!"

"I...don't dare..." King Xuan shed tears of regret, mourning that there is such a king in Tuyuhun. At this moment, he really wanted to go up and kick Nuohebo off the throne, but this idea only came from him. It just flashed through his mind, he thought he was a loyal minister, not a traitor.

Nuohebo said loudly: "Since that's the case! Why don't you quickly reply to the marriage envoy of the Tang Kingdom? Don't you have to wait until dark to go?"

Nuo Hebo held a grudge against King Xuan, and kept talking with a gun and a stick. King Xuan didn't want to be attacked by his words anymore, so he said "resignation", and left the hall.

King Xuan was full of thoughts all the way, thinking about how to deal with the marriage envoy of the Tang Dynasty, conveying Nuo Hebo's words to Li Hao without making Li Hao angry. Remarkable.

After arriving outside the city, King Xuan met Li Hao again, and Li Hao asked calmly, "Prime Minister, when will your lord come out to meet my Princess Datang?"

King Xuan made a bitter face, saluted and apologized: "Master Angel, I am really sorry. My Lord Tuyuhun is in poor health. I am afraid that it will be difficult to go out of the city to meet the princess in person. I can only ask the old minister to do it for me. If the etiquette is not good, please ask the angel Haihan."

"Oh? Can you do it for me?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows, and said coldly, "Then why don't we also do the wedding?"

King Xuan's face changed drastically when he heard the words, and he fell to his knees with a plop, prostrating and shouting: "Angels calm down!"

The prime minister knelt down, and the rest of the Tuyuhun officials who were in a state of confusion also knelt down on the ground, shouting in unison: "The angels calm down—"

King Xuan knelt on the ground and repeatedly argued: "Angel, please calm down. I, Lord Tuyuhun, am really unwell and cannot meet the princess in person. Please ask the angel to bring the princess into the city, so as not to miss the good time for the wedding."

"Hehe, good time?" Li Hao asked with a cold smile, "Since your lord is sick, how can you get married, when he recovers, then come out of the city to welcome the princess into the city to get married. "

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and left, shouting loudly as he walked: "Pass down my military order, and the army camps in place!"

As soon as this remark came out, King Xuan was stunned, and all the officials were stunned. Li Hao was determined to ask Nuo Hebo to go out of the city to meet the princess in person. What should we do?

After Li Hao left, all the ministers stepped forward to surround King Xuan, asking him why the king didn't come out to meet the princess. King Xuan couldn't say anything, so he could only shake his head and sigh vaguely: "Your Majesty refuses to go out of the city to meet her, and I will What can I do?"

Everyone didn't believe it, because they all knew that King Xuan had been in charge of the government for many years. Although Nuo Hebo was crowned with the name of the king, he was just an empty shell, and everything was decided by King Xuan. If King Xuan forced him to go out of the city to meet the princess, Nuo Hebo would not dare In defiance, now Nuohebo refuses to go out of the city to meet the princess, and King Xuan actually agrees, things are a bit strange.

Faced with the people's questioning, King Xuan naturally couldn't tell about the conflict between himself and Nuo Hebo, so he hurried back to the city after prevaricating a few words. He wanted to tell Nuo Hebo about Li Hao's reaction, so that this ignorant young man Everyone knows the tough attitude of Datang's marriage envoy.

In the main hall of the palace, when King Xuan told Nuo Hebo about Li Hao's reaction, Nuo Hebo became furious, stared and shouted: "What, the envoy of Tang camped outside the city and refused to enter the city! How unreasonable! Then let him stay in the city." Stay outside the city!"

King Xuan frowned, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, so stop making trouble."

"What nonsense is this king!" Nuo Hebo snorted angrily, "This king has already refused to be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and now this king is no longer a county king of Datang, how dare I let this king go out of the city to meet him!"

King Xuan really wanted to rush up and give him a big slap, and told him while slapping him: "I haven't told Tang Envoy about this yet, if I did, God knows how the other party will react; who do you think you are, don't you tell the envoy Tang Tang Chengchen, Datang will marry the princess to you? You haven't woken up from the dream, do you want to go to Chang'an to accompany your grandfather on vacation..."

Naturally, King Xuan did not dare to do this, he had to explain his interests to Nuohebo in a nice voice, but Nuohebo, he wouldn’t listen, he hated King Xuan, he had already stamped King Xuan, and thought that King Xuan was The treacherous official who bullied the king and seized power, said everything was wrong, King Xuan felt that he was going crazy, and the urge to kick him off the throne once again arose in his heart.

The result of the conversation between the monarch and his ministers was not satisfactory, and he did not get the answer he wanted. King Xuan could only go back to the mansion alone, summoned a group of confidantes, and figured out a solution by himself.

King Xuan has been in charge of the government for many years, so he naturally has many political enemies. To deal with these political enemies, he alone is obviously not enough. He must have cronies, and he has quite a few cronies, but only five of them hold important positions. Well, these five people are either in charge of military power or political power. They are all important officials in the court, and these five people support him sincerely. They have asked him to seize the throne more than once, but he has rejected them all. It's still the same sentence , He thinks he is a loyal minister, not a traitor.

This time King Xuan summoned these five important ministers in the court. After King Xuan told his party members about the dispute between himself and Nuohebo, the mighty general He Shi immediately snapped at the case and said angrily: "How dare you, Huangkou kid?" So ignorant of the seriousness, Prime Minister, you let him do things like this?"

King Xuan waved his hands and sighed: "He Shi said carefully, don't say such rebellious words again, alas, your majesty has grown up and his wings are hardened, so don't listen to my advice."

"Prime Minister." Liu Tong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, frowned, "Prime Minister, you know that Li Hao, the envoy bestowed by the Tang Dynasty, is not easy to mess with. Even though he is not a few years older than Your Majesty, his abilities are extraordinary. When the Tang Dynasty attacked me, Tuyuhun , this son is only 16 years old, and he personally captured the late king Fuyun."

"How could I not know about this?" King Xuan sighed long, "This Li Hao is indeed a man of excellence. When he captured Fuyun Khan, he was just a small soldier. Now he is a general. Three years ago , Gaochang invaded Datang Tingzhou, [-] troops besieged the city, he led [-] troops to defend it, and endured for several months until the reinforcements from Datang, and finally defended Tingzhou City."

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people were all in awe, four thousand against seven thousand, what a concept, in their impression, four thousand against seven thousand was impossible, and they felt that this Li Hao was simply a god-man.

King Xuan continued: "Later Li Hao asked the Tang Emperor to lead his troops to conquer Gaochang, and he defeated Gaochang in just over a month. From then on...there will be no Gaochang in the world."

Everyone was silent for a while, the meaning of King Xuan's words was very simple, if Li Hao led troops to attack, would they be the next Gaochang.

Speaking of this, King Xuan suddenly felt very sad. He was also a young man. Li Hao captured Fuyun Khan of Tuyuhun when he was 16 years old, and their king was 17 years old. The government is completely blind, Li Hao is "other people's child" in the eyes of King Xuan.

"Okay, don't push up other people's ambitions anymore." Ji Tongguang, Minister of the Household Department, saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, and suddenly said, "We are here this time to discuss countermeasures, not to praise this Li Hao. No matter how powerful Li Hao is, He is not from our Xianbei."

"That's right." Lou Zhengnan said, "Tomorrow, we will jointly write a letter to let His Majesty go out of the city to personally meet the Tang princess. Since he wants to be in power, does he dare to ignore the advice of the officials?"

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, but King Xuan said with a frown, "Actually, let His Majesty go out of the city, and all the ministers can come to remonstrate. If you think about it, he would not dare to offend the public."

Seeing his distressed face, Ji Tongguang couldn't help asking in surprise, "Is there anything else?"

King Xuan was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty has asked me to tell the Tang Dynasty to bestow marriage envoys. From now on, I will no longer pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and Tuyuhun is no longer a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

"What!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"How could he be so willful and reckless!" He Shi had the most violent temper, and once again slapped the table and started drinking.

"Your Majesty's move...is really inappropriate." Liu Tong frowned and shook his head repeatedly.

King Xuan frowned, and said slowly: "I haven't dared to tell Li Hao about this, but as soon as Li Hao enters the city, he must meet His Majesty to present his credentials. Then...how can we do it?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they were all speechless.

After a long silence in the hall, He Shi suddenly gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Just kill Li Hao."

The rest of the people trembled when they heard the words, and looked at him with crazy eyes, killing Tang envoy?What a joke!
He Shi also knew that they dared not, so he said: "I don't need to say, you also know that if you really refuse to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will definitely attack with troops, and by then...it will be too late. The Tang people have a saying, A strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake. Although Li Hao is good at fighting, he is nothing without soldiers and horses. He cannot bring soldiers and horses with him when he enters the city. As long as he enters the city, it is not up to us. We will send people to assassinate him. he!"
