Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 769 Chapter 788: Full of benevolence and righteousness
In anger, Li Zhi used a lot of force, and directly threw the memorial far away, just hitting the Silla envoy Kim Jong-won. Kim Jong-won was so frightened that he fell to his knees again and kowtowed for mercy: "Tang Huangshu Sin, Emperor Tang forgives sin..."

Li Zhi pointed at Jin Zhengyuan angrily, and yelled: "How can you tell me to forgive you! Come, someone, pull the Silla envoys down, put them in the prison, and ask to be executed someday!"

Immediately, two Jinwu guards rushed in from outside the hall, ready to pull Jin Zhengyuan down, Jin Zhengyuan was so frightened that he shouted tremblingly: "Tang Emperor, spare your life, Tang Emperor, please listen to my words!"

Seeing that the Jinwu Guard was about to arrest someone, Xu Liangdong suddenly came out of the imperial court to sacrifice wine and said loudly: "Hold on, Your Majesty!"

Seeing someone begging for love, the Jinwu Guard stopped and looked at Li Zhi. Li Zhi raised his hand to stop the two Jinwu Guards, then looked at Xu Liangdong, and asked, "Xu Jijiu, do you have something to say?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Liangdong cupped his hands, "If the two countries are at war, if you don't kill the envoys, although I don't know what Silla has done to our Tang Dynasty, the emperor must not kill the envoys of Silla."

The other ministers nodded upon hearing the words. In the era of the Warring States Period, when the etiquette collapsed and music was broken, the two countries fought without beheading the envoys. How could they kill the envoys of Silla.

Chu Suiliang asked at this time: "Your Majesty, what happened and why is your Majesty so angry?"

Only then did Li Zhi remember that he was so angry for a moment that he forgot to report to Zhuqing from the military newspaper, and said, "The memorial is on the ground, you pick it up and read it to Zhuqing!"

Chu Suiliang went forward to pick up the battle report, and looked at the cover, it was actually a battle report sent by Chongzhou. The battle report said that Silla suddenly sent 5000 troops to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty and invade Chongzhou. , let them withdraw from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but the leading generals of Silla did not listen at all, and actually stationed troops on a mountain a hundred miles northeast of Chongzhou. Out of the Datang territory, I didn't expect that these Silla troops not only did not leave, but also said that it was originally their Silla territory, and the two sides clashed, and Datang lost nearly a thousand troops.

Silla was originally a tiny country, enslaved by Baekje for many years, its national strength is almost as high as that of Tang Dynasty, but it has repeatedly robbed Datang territory and offended Datang Tianwei. It is no wonder that Li Zhi will be so angry .

After Chu Suiliang finished reading the memorandum, he looked at Kim Jong-won with a complicated expression, and sneered, "Messenger Jin, are you Silla people so shameless? They ran to the territory of our Tang Dynasty and said it was your Silla territory." ?”

Kim Jong-won said solemnly: "My lord, before a thousand years ago, our territory of Silla was very wide, and it was indeed my land of Silla."

"It's a bunch of nonsense!" Li Zhi pointed at him, stared and scolded, "If you talk nonsense again, I will really not forgive you!"

Jin Zhengyuan had no intention of shutting up at all, and continued: "Your Majesty, the king of Silla is determined to take back the former land and fulfill the ambition of unifying Silla. My king also knows that this is disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, so I specially sent a minister Holding the letter of credence to plead guilty to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, in order to express my sincerity, my king specially sent my ministers to bring 3 taels of gold, 7 taels of jewelry, [-] taels of Korean ginseng mink fur, and [-] taels of other medicinal materials. The total contract is [-] taels of gold! "

Hearing this amount, all the officials were shocked. Although Datang is very rich now, when they heard 7 taels of gold, the officials still exclaimed, this is not a small amount of wealth.

Even Li Zhi was surprised when he heard it, and then he frowned and said coldly, "Where's the national book?"

Jin Zhengyuan took out the letter of credence from a brocade box and said, "Here is the letter of credence, and I will read it to His Majesty the Tang Emperor."

The characters of the Tang Dynasty have now spread to the surrounding countries. People in almost every country can speak and write the characters of the Tang Dynasty. Silla's national books are also written in the Tang characters.

Kim Jong-won began to read the national book, and he wrote sincerely, with a very low posture, all kinds of flattery to Tang Dynasty, and all the officials nodded after hearing it, a little bit smug.

Only Li Hao listened there with a sneer on his face. Only he knew why Silla suddenly wanted to snatch the land near Chongzhou, because it was planned by him alone. In the mountains to the northeast of Chongzhou, Pu Zhiyong tried every means to persuade the King of Silla to take that piece of land. For the King of Silla, this expanded the country's territory. Buried in the dragon's veins, thereby changing one's luck.

After Jin Zhengyuan had finished reading the State Letter, Xu Liangdong, the Imperial Supervisor, said: "Your Majesty, the King of Silla's State Letter is sincere, and he knows his fault, and he also gave such a generous gift, 70 guan, which is worthy of that piece of land." It's cold."

What he meant was very clear, that is, to let Silla go, accept their apology, and treat it as selling the land to them. Anyway, their Tang Dynasty has such a vast territory, and Chongzhou is not a place of bitter cold. , but it is also very poor, 70 can be sold.

Li Zhi frowned when he heard this, he didn't think so, he had only taken over the throne from his father for half a year, and his father worked hard all his life to lay down the huge territory of the Tang Dynasty, it was definitely not for him to exchange for money.

The last time Silla robbed the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they had already spared it once. The main reason was that the territory had just been conquered and had not yet been constructed. No manpower and material resources had been invested in it, and no people from the Tang Dynasty had lived there yet. Give it to them I don't think it's a pity, but I still make a fortune.

However, this time is different. There are tens of thousands of people from the Tang Dynasty living near Chongzhou. They have invested manpower and material resources in it. It has been built for many years. If it is snatched by Silla, then the people on that land will also flow into Silla. Li Zhi, like Li Shimin, is also an emperor who loves the people like his own son. How can he watch the people of his country being snatched away by other countries, so he disagrees with giving that piece of land to Silla. Regarding Xu Liangdong's words, Li Zhi Zhi was very dissatisfied.

Although he was dissatisfied, Li Zhi didn't show it, he just asked indifferently: "What about the other ministers, what do you think about this matter?"

At this moment, Changsun Wuji cupped his hands suddenly and said: "Your Majesty, military affairs are a major national event, and you must not touch them lightly, otherwise you will lose your life. However, the territory of our Tang Dynasty, a country of barbarians, should not be moved lightly. King Luo, and ordered him to withdraw from Chongzhou within three months, otherwise..."

When he said this, he suddenly froze, otherwise why, otherwise he would definitely send troops to conquer Silla, but now the eldest grandson has a headache when he mentions fighting, because Li Hao is now the general of Tiance Mansion, and all matters of sending troops are decided. The power is in Li Hao's hands. Once Li Hao goes to war, he will make meritorious deeds...

In order to resolve the embarrassment, Changsun Wuji could only change his words: "With my Great Tang Tianwei, I believe that the King of Silla would not dare to disobey!"

Li Hao burst out laughing when he heard the words, Jin Zhengyuan was surprised when he heard the sound, turned his head to look at Li Hao, secretly surprised: "Who is this person? How dare you laugh so unscrupulously in the palace of the Tang Dynasty, it is really arrogant. "

Li Zhi looked at Li Hao in surprise when he heard the words, and asked, "Why did the poet suddenly laugh?"

Li Hao went out and bowed to Li Zhi, and said: "Going back to the emperor, I think what the elder grandson said is a bit funny."

Changsun Wuji frowned and stared at Li Hao, and asked, "How funny are the old man's words?"

"Isn't it funny?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows, "What if the King of Silla just refuses to return that piece of land?"

Changsun Wuji said angrily, "If that's the case, then we can only fight each other!"

Finally forcing the elder Sun Wuji to say these words, Li Hao nodded in satisfaction, looked at Jin Zhengyuan, and said slowly: "Messenger Jin, I have a few words to ask you."

Now Jin Zhengyuan already knows who this is in front of him. Looking at his age and the fact that the emperor called him a poet madman just now, he already knows that this is King Qiongnan, who is very famous in the Tang Dynasty. Please ask the king."

Li Hao asked with a smile: "I am puzzled in my heart. My Datang military newspaper has always been very fast. It takes no more than 20 days to get from Chongzhou to Chang'an, but you arrived in Chang'an before the military newspaper. May I ask how you did it?" of?"

Kim Jong-won was stunned when he heard the words, and he was speechless for a moment, and all the officials suddenly realized, yes, this Silla is too strange, every time the envoys who come to ask for sins come very quickly, this time the envoys are actually here It was incredible that the military newspaper had arrived before.

Jin Zhengyuan muttered for a while, and could only explain far-fetchedly: "My king just occupied the territory of Tang Dynasty, and immediately sent his ministers to plead guilty."

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "How long will it take you to travel from Silla to Chang'an?"

"This..." Jin Zhengyuan didn't know how to answer again.

Li Hao smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, you have planned it long ago. Before the war started, you have already set off ahead of time. The purpose is to plead guilty as soon as possible after taking down my Tang territory, so that you can fight against me as soon as possible. This is to express your so-called sincerity and to defuse Datang's anger, right?"

Kim Jong-won had nothing to say, he could only say in embarrassment: "My king really sincerely apologizes."

"Sincerity, ha ha." Li Hao sneered, "Don't you think it's ridiculous to say this from your mouth?"

"You, King Qiongnan..." Hearing this, Jin Zhengyuan glared at Li Hao angrily.

Li Hao suddenly faced Li Zhi, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Xinluo has repeatedly violated our Great Tang Tianwei, and is capricious. I ask Your Majesty to send troops to attack Xinluo immediately, to flatten this small country, and to promote my Great Tang's national prestige! Otherwise In the future, what will my Tang Dynasty look like to be the suzerain of the world, and how will I command all nations!"

Hearing the words, Jin Zhengyuan looked at Li Hao in horror, and tremblingly said: "King Qiongnan...you...how can you be so unreasonable!"

"It's you Xinluo who are unreasonable!" Li Hao turned his head and stared at him coldly, and said coldly, "Even if the land of my Tang Dynasty is idle there, it is not up to you barbarians to trample on it wantonly, do you really think that Send some money, and you can settle the matter with a crime? Hehe, you are too naive, what is 70 guan, my Tang Dynasty's national prestige, is it only worth 70 guan?"

"You...you..." Jin Zhengyuan was so anxious that he almost cried, but he couldn't find anything to say to Li Hao.

At this time, Chu Suiliang suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I do not agree with King Qiongnan's actions. Our Tang Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and a country of etiquette. Silla has already apologized and even sent generous gifts. How can we be unreasonable?" Forgive me, this is out of the style of a great country! Besides, soldiers, the important affairs of the country should not be taken lightly. The veteran thinks that Silla should be given a chance and let them withdraw their troops on their own."

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

……

After hearing the words, all the ministers seconded their opinions one after another, and they all believed that Silla should be given a chance, and that they should not be justified or not forgiven.

Li Hao sneered secretly when he heard the words, and suddenly turned his head to look at Jin Zhengyuan, and said, "Jin Zhengyuan, I heard that you have a festival in Silla called... what festival is it?"
