Man Tanghong

Chapter 749 Professional things should be done by professional people
"Okay, stop arguing, whether to go to Turkic or not is not up to you, but to our Prince Yugu."

When Yugu was about to be overwhelmed by fright, Li Yuanji spoke slowly, stopped the quarrel between Li Xiaogong and others, and let Zhao Chengyong back out by the way.

After Li Xiaogong and the others shut their mouths, Yugu stammered: "His Royal Highness, what Yugu said is true, there is absolutely no deception..."

Li Yuanji frowned all of a sudden, Yugu was not being honest until now, which really made him a little angry.

Immediately, Li Yuanji lowered his face, and said coldly: "If that's the case, then you should go back to rest first. I want to discuss with the civil and military officers of Datang. If the civil and military officers of Datang agree with what you said, then you We can still discuss the deal proposed by my father.

If the civil and military people of my Tang Dynasty don't agree with what you said, then you should go back quickly and let your father prepare for the battle. "

After saying this, without waiting for Yugu to reply, Li Yuanji waved his hand to signal the people from Honglu Temple to take Yugu down.

After the people from Honglu Temple left the Taiji Hall with Yugu, who was already dripping with sweat on his forehead, Li Yuanji stared at the crowd of civil and military personnel and asked, "Did anyone see any flaws in Yugu, Zhuqing?" Has anyone seen Xieli's real idea of ​​exchanging Yicheng?"

Yugu did not tell the truth, this is a problem that anyone with a discerning eye can see.

So Li Yuanji didn't say anything more on this issue, but directly asked all the civil and military people's views on Yugu, as well as their views on the deal proposed by Xieli.

All the civil and military people looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

Because they didn't see too many flaws in Yugu, naturally they couldn't judge Xieli's real purpose of proposing this deal.

"Didn't you see anything?"

Li Yuanji asked again with some displeasure.

Li Gang hesitated for a moment, then slightly cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Highness, the contact with Yugu has been too short, and with Yugu's back and forth just a few words, I really have no way to judge Xieli's proposal. What is the real idea of ​​this transaction..."

Pei Ju, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou, Ling Jing and others all nodded along, looking disappointed.

As human ministers, or counselors among human ministers, they can't share the worries of the king, which is really a kind of sadness.

If things go on like this, many of them will be eliminated.

After all, as civil servants, they shoulder the responsibility of seeking the country. If they cannot advise the king and help the king detect the enemy's thoughts in advance, then it is useless for the king to keep them.

Instead of spending a huge amount of money to support them, it's better to find an excuse to weed out the palace and let new, more capable people come up.

"Uncle Wang, cousin, how about you?"

Li Yuanji stared at Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong and other royal relatives and generals and asked again.

Li Shentong looked hesitant and did not speak.

Li Xiaogong squeezed out a smile awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Li Daoli was eager to try, but after being glared at by Li Shentong, he immediately died down.

Only the elderly Shi Wanbao stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, Li and the like can't see anything, and the ministers are all warriors, so naturally they can't see anything either."

Li Yuanji frowned and said: "So, today is a waste of temptation?"

Shi Wanbao smiled dryly, and slowly closed his mouth.

Cheng Yaojin suddenly interjected at this time: "If it fails once, then try a few more times. I believe that as long as we try enough, we can always find out something we want to know."

After Cheng Yaojin's words fell to the ground, Qin Qiong gave Cheng Yaojin a helpless look, and said angrily: "This kind of thing usually only has one chance, and if it fails once, it will be difficult to try again."

Wei Zhengchang sighed and nodded, "Yes, if it fails once, the other party must be on guard, and if you want to test again, you can only think of a way to scare him out of his courage first, so that he will show his weakness when his liver and gallbladder are torn.

Or just confuse him with wine and sex, let him say what we want in a trance.

However, whether it is to find a way to frighten him, or to confuse him with alcohol and sex, he may be on guard, and he may give us some false news when we think he is tricked. "

"This won't work, and that won't work, so what do you say?"

Cheng Yaojin stared at Wei Zheng with wide eyes and yelled.

Qin Qiong hurriedly raised her face and scolded Cheng Yaojin: "If you know the integrity, don't be rude!"

Cheng Yaojin grumbled reluctantly, "Understood, second brother..."

Then there was no more talking.

After Cheng Yaojin closed his mouth, Li Jing murmured, "Your Highness, if you can't test it verbally, maybe you can send someone to test it yourself."

Li Yuanji raised his brows slightly, and the other people in the hall were also taken aback.

Li Yuanji asked thoughtfully: "You mean, send someone to visit Turkic in person to see what happened in Turkic?"

Li Jing nodded slowly.

Li Shentong couldn't help but said: "Send a team of people to sneak into Turkic?"

Li Jing shook his head slightly and said: "It's not appropriate, we have sent troops to raid the Turkic royal court before, and the Turkic people will definitely be prepared in this regard, so once our troops enter the Turkic territory, there is a [-]% chance of being discovered. There is a [-]% chance that the entire army will be wiped out.

So I am more inclined to send envoys. "

As he spoke, Li Jing's eyes fell on Wen Chen.

Li Gang's old face became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye, he arched his hands slightly, and said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, both we and the Turks have had examples of detaining the other party's envoys.

Now the Turkic Kehe Dun is in our hands, and the little Khan is also in our hands.

If we send envoys there, it is very likely that they will be detained by them and then exchanged for their Kehe Dun and Little Khan. "

Speaking of the fact that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks detained each other's envoys, it was the Turks who took the initiative to provoke them.

At that time, Jieli led [-] fine cavalry, and together with [-] soldiers and horses led by Ma Yiyuan Junzhang, attacked Xiaoyanmen, but was repelled by Li Dayen, king of Dingxiang in the Tang Dynasty, with very little force.

Frustrated, Jieli detained the Tang envoys Su Gui, Zheng Yuanxuan, Changsun Shunde and others.

Li Yuan saw that Xieli was unruly and broke the diplomatically recognized covenant, and without hesitation, he ordered people to detain the Turkic envoy Nuhan and others.

This farce didn't end until the fifth year of Wude, when Jieli returned his eldest grandson Shunde and his party, and offered fish maw as a gift to Datang for peace.

There is such an example before, Datang sent envoys to Turkic again at this time, Turkic may really break the rules again.

So Li Gang's worries are not unreasonable.

However, for the safety of several envoys, the spying on the Turks was given up, which made the Turks engage in conspiracy and tricks under the eyes of Datang, which harmed the interests of Datang.

When personal safety and national interests conflict, as a person in power, it is clear at a glance whether to protect the individual or the country.

"Li Gong's worry is not unreasonable, but the situation inside the Turks, we must investigate."

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanji made a decision, "In this way, I will send someone to call Tang Jian back and ask him if he would like to go to Turkic again. Li Gong also asked in Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, Let's see who is willing to risk his life and send an envoy to Turkic for our Great Tang."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji sat up straight slightly, and said loudly: "This time, I will reward anyone who is an envoy to the Turks for my Tang Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, before Li Gang had time to speak, someone stood up.

"The ministers and lords are willing to go!"

When it comes to getting promoted and getting rich, Hou Junji has never been willing to fall behind.

So if he has a chance, he will do it. If there is no chance, he will try his best to create opportunities.

In the previous border market incident, he was involved in a lot, and his official position and household closure had been reduced to a certain extent, so if he had the opportunity to regain his official position and household closure, or if he went upstairs again, he would say nothing. miss.

"This is all about civil servants, why are you a military general joining in the fun?!"

Cheng Yaojin despised Hou Junji's official fans, especially the official fans who quickly betrayed the Qin Palace before Li Yuanji used his power to oppress him.

So facing Hou Junji's initiative to invite Ying, he sarcastically sarcastically.

Hou Junji ignored Cheng Yaojin, quietly bent over and waited for Li Yuanji's reply.

In his opinion, Cheng Yaojin is no longer on the same level as him.

Although Cheng Yaojin has a higher title than him, he has already left the power center of the Tang Dynasty, and his future achievements will never be comparable to that of a person who is infinitely closer to the power center, so he is too lazy to respond to Cheng Yaojin's cynicism.

Facing Hou Junji's initiative to ask for a job, Li Yuanji nodded in satisfaction and said, "I'm very relieved that Hou Qing has such a heart. But Cheng Qing is right, this kind of thing is usually done by civil servants, It is not appropriate for Wu Chen to go."

This kind of mission is not only a physical work, but also a mental work.

The body is not healthy enough, the brain is not flexible enough, and there is no way to take on the important task of envoy.

After all, the present is not the future. A plane can send an envoy to any place he wants to go on an envoy, and there is no need to travel and travel, and there is no need to experience too many risks.

Now when going on a mission, not only do you have to go through long distances and tiresome boats and cars, but you also have to guard against all kinds of dangers that suddenly emerge from all directions at any time and place. achieve the purpose of mission.

Therefore, going on a mission now not only tests physical strength, but also mental strength.

There is no doubt about Hou Junji's physical strength, but his mental strength is hard to say.

After all, in terms of physical strength, there are not too many forks, but in terms of mental strength, there are many forks.

Some people's brain power can support him to lead troops and fight wars, but he cannot support him to engage in politics and diplomacy.

Some people's brains can support him in politics, but they can't support him in leading troops and engaging in diplomacy.

Some people's brains can support him to engage in politics, but they can't support him to lead troops to fight and engage in politics.

So in this kind of matter, it is best to leave it to professional people to complete.

And Tang Jian is undoubtedly the best among them.
