Man Tanghong

Chapter 753 Tang Jian's Decision

Chai Lingwu obviously didn't take these words to heart, and nodded his head every now and then in perfunctory manner.

Li Yuanji could only give Wang Xuance a look, hoping that Wang Xuance could stare at him.

This is his nephew, although he has no relationship with him, but if something happens during the mission, then he will not be able to explain it to Li Xiuning.

Wang Xuance is undoubtedly a person who knows how to read words and expressions. After feeling his gaze and what he wanted to explain in his gaze, he nodded his head imperceptibly.

Li Yuanji said with confidence: "Okay, I have already told you what I have to explain. After a while, you will stay in Honglu Temple or the Ministry of Rites, and learn how to get out of it from the people of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites." make.

After Tang Jian comes back, you can act according to your plan. "

Chai Lingwu was in no mood to care about other things anymore, after hearing this, he shouted "Okay" excitedly, and ran out.

Fortunately, Wang Xuance stopped him in time, and after taking him to salute together, he left the Hall of Martial Virtue.

As soon as the little guys left, Liu Jun couldn't hold back and said, "Your Highness, is it a little risky for you to let Xiaowei Chai go to the Turks with the Duke of Ju?"

Li Yuanji nodded slowly.

Taking risks is definitely a bit risky.

But if you can't cut jade, you can't make it into a weapon.

It would be a waste to leave a rough jade like Wang Xuance who is destined to shine in the history of diplomacy unfinished.

As for Chai Lingwu, that's just incidental.

After all, if only Wang Xuance is allowed to go, and Chai Lingwu and others are not allowed to go, everyone can see that he values ​​Wang Xuance very much.

With his current status and status, and Wang Xuance's current status, Wang Xuance may not be able to bear the importance he values.

So adding Chai Lingwu and others just happened to confuse the public.

Besides, Chai Lingwu is not useless. He has a father who is like a tiger, and a mother who is stronger than a tiger. He is also good at communication, and his performance under Luo Shixin is not bad.

With a little refinement, he could become a useful talent for Datang.

Therefore, putting him and Wang Xuance together to sculpt would also allow them to influence each other and make progress together.

Judging from their attitudes when they were together, it was obvious that Wang Xuance was the leader.

With a leader like Wang Xuance, plus he has two tyrannical father and mother, as long as he can carve it out, his future achievements will definitely not be too bad.

Even if he can't do something famous outside the region like Wang Xuance, he won't follow in the footsteps of history.

So letting him and Wang Xuance go on an embassy to the Turks seems to be a very dangerous thing, but it is actually very beneficial to him.

Specifically, it depends on whether he can take advantage of these benefits.

"Then...do you want to think about it again? After all, if something happens to Lieutenant Chai, it will be difficult for you to deal with His Highness Pingyang."

Liu Jun said hesitantly.

Li Yuanji glanced at Liu Jun, and said in a blunt tone: "Why do you have to deal with it? My Li family's Jiangshan Sheji was obtained immediately, and it was not snatched from my grandson without bloodshed.

Everyone in my Li family can die for my Li family's Jiangshan Sheji, why can't they die when they come to him?
Isn't he a relative of my Li family? "

Liu Jun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Li Yuanji continued: "My father, my eldest brother, my second brother, my third sister, and even other members of my Li family have more or less fought for my Li family's Jiangshan Sheji.

The wounds on our bodies add up, I am afraid there will be too many to count.

We can sit on this world and enjoy the wealth and honor of this world, and we risk our lives again and again in exchange for it.

He is the second son, and he is doomed not to inherit his father's title in the future. If he doesn't risk his life, why should he enter the family and enjoy wealth. "

Liu Jun's lips trembled slightly, he didn't know what to say at all.

Li Yuanji said with emotion, "Liu Jun, there will never be a world for nothing in this world, let alone wealth for nothing. The shadow left by your parents can't reach you, so you have to take Fight for everything you have, otherwise you will never be qualified to enter the house and enjoy the wealth far surpassing others."

Liu Jun lowered his head slowly, and said in a sincere tone: "I have been taught...just..."

"Just what?"

Li Yuanji stared at Liu Jun and asked.

Liu Jun hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that he is your nephew, wouldn't it be enough to have you take care of him?"

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes and said: "I have so many nephews, I can't even take care of the eldest, let alone the second."

Li Yuan is quite a lecherous womanizer, not only keen to communicate with all kinds of beauties in close quarters, but also keen to make babies.

He has created a bunch of children in history, and I am afraid that he will not stop now.

Therefore, the Li clan is destined to flourish wildly under his spare no efforts.

After these branches and leaves grow up, they will use various conveniences to scatter branches and leaves even more crazily.

At that time, it will not be easy for people with the surname Li to be irradiated, let alone people with other surnames.

Besides, in the current Tang Dynasty, a large part of the power is controlled by Li's clan, and after the foreign relatives are allowed to control part of the power, then the support of the powerful in the Tang Dynasty may be completely solidified.

And this kind of curing is likely to be solidified in one piece.

At that time, there will be me in you, and you in me, interests, feelings and other things will be intertwined, and all aspects will become very complicated.

Once the court wants to reform, or suppress them when they start to encroach on the interests of the people, they will definitely unite and resist the court.

Therefore, in order to avoid the future development of the Tang Dynasty being hindered by one's own people, and also to prevent the royal family of the Tang Dynasty from fighting each other.

The matter of foreign relatives taking power must be curbed.

The fact that the clan is in power also needs to be further restricted.

So take care of this kind of thing, and don’t do it if you can’t do it in the future.

Everyone rises to the top according to their ability, and those who have no ability will decline after enjoying the shadow left by their ancestors, and they can't blame anyone.

"But Captain Chai is different after all..."

Liu Jun continued to persuade with some unwillingness to give up.

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes, stared at Liu Jun and said, "Liu Jun, you talk too much today?"

Liu Jun's expression froze, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "It's the minister who made a slip of the tongue."

Li Yuanji snorted softly and didn't say anything more.

……

The wait was long, especially the process of waiting for Tang Jian to return from Youzhou was even longer.

By the time Tang Jian hurried back to Chang'an from Youzhou, it was already the end of September.

At the end of September, everything began to be bleak, and the autumn wind began to blow wildly.

The cold northwest wind blew randomly around Chang'an City, and when it hit people, it would make people feel a strong resistance and a slight chill.

Li Yuanji started talking to Chen Shuda and Tang Jian who were meeting with him after he ordered people to close the door of the Taiji Hall that creaked and creaked in the wind.

"Tang Jian, you have worked hard to contact Tudiji and various tribes outside Yanzhou for my Tang Dynasty."

Li Yuanji looked at Tang Jian who was sitting on the right side of the lower head without any change, and said with emotion.

Tang Jian saluted respectfully: "This is what I should do, and I dare not take credit for it."

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "But you let your brothers and sons go to Yanzhou together, and they still take root in Yanzhou, planting a seed for my Tang in Yanzhou, and Yanzhou by accident. That's not what you should do."

Tang Jian said seriously: "A minister is just a reward for eating the emperor, and it is a matter of being loyal to the emperor."

Li Yuanji laughed and said: "What a reward for eating the emperor, it is a matter of being loyal to the emperor."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji looked at Chen Shuda who was sitting on the left side of the lower head, and asked with a smile: "Shuda, what do you say?"

Chen Shuda arched his hands and said with emotion: "Duke Ju is indeed the pillar of my Tang Dynasty."

Li Yuanji nodded and said with a smile: "Since he is the pillar of our Tang Dynasty, he should be reused and rewarded generously. It is up to you and Mr. Li to discuss how to reward."

"The minister obeys the order..."

Chen Shuda bowed and agreed.

Tang Jian also bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

Li Yuanji waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's time to get down to business. Tang Jian, why did I call you back, you must have some understanding, right?"

After Tang Jian returned to Beijing, he had contact with Chen Shuda. With his ingenuity, he must be able to guess why he was called back this time.

Tang Jian nodded and said, "Your Highness wants the minister to lead a team to go to Turkic as an envoy."

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "That's right, the Turkic Jieli Khan suddenly proposed to exchange their Kehe Dun with an equal weight of gold, in the euphemistic name of saving face.

I always felt that what they said was a little bit untrue.

But Shuda and I tried many times, but we couldn't get a single truth out of the mouth of the Turkic envoy.

So I want to send you to Turkic to see what happened in Turkic and why Xieli made such a decision. "

Tang Jian nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand..."

Li Yuanji shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't understand, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, and both my Tang Dynasty and the Turkic have a precedent of detaining the other party's envoys, and now my Tang Dynasty is tearing apart with the Turkic, the Turkic is terrible. He Dun and Little Khan were also captured by my Tang Dynasty.

So after your trip to Turkic this time, there is a high possibility that you will be detained by Xieli and exchanged for their Kehe Dun.

If so, would you still like to go? "

Tang Jian was stunned, and said seriously: "Every time I act as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, when I go to other countries, I never think of any danger to myself. If I will hesitate because of this kind of thing, because of this kind of thing If you look forward and look backward, the minister will not go to other countries many times."

Li Yuanji smiled from the bottom of his heart: "So, you agreed?"

Tang Jian nodded without hesitation.

Going on a mission is not a big deal.

What if he could do something like Su Wu and Zhang Qian and be recorded in the annals of history, even if he was detained, or sent to herd sheep like Su Wu?
