Chapter 587 Volume Five

Li Yuanjing didn't keep Zhangsun Wuji and the others waiting for too long, and he didn't even send someone to come, but he came in person.

One thing Changsun Wuji did not make a mistake in his analysis.

Even though Li Yuanjing agreed to Li Chengqian, it was impossible for him to put all his treasures on Li Chengqian before the dust settled.

In the end, he had to leave a way out for himself.

Facing Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde, Li Yuanjing didn't dare to put on airs, and came over immediately after receiving Changsun Wuji's invitation.

"Foreign ministers see His Royal Highness King Zhao." Although Li Yuanjing was very polite, Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde bowed immediately when they saw the visitor.

This is basic etiquette and should not be lost.

After giving the ceremony, Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Highness is too polite, how can you let His Highness come to the border in person, why not send someone over, the foreign minister must go to see His Highness in person.

How can the old man and Wu Guogong make His Royal Highness greet you in person? "

Li Yuanjing waved his hands with a smile, and said: "The Duke of Qi and the Duke of Wu are visiting together, how can I be negligent? Moreover, both of them are important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and they have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty today. This king just went two extra Just walking, why not?"

Don't look at Li Yuanjing's reputation as a trash in history, but that's only relative.

Based on his background, education and environment, it is really impossible for him to be a playboy.

After all, although his father is also the emperor, don't forget how his father was kicked out of power.

Don't forget, the reason why he came to Qingshuichuan in the first place was because Li Er killed his brother and imprisoned his father?

With such an elder brother, how dare he be a fool?

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, there was not much disturbance in their hearts.

No matter whether it is Changsun Wuji or Yuchi Jingde, they only pay lip service to Li Yuanjing. This is because of the restriction of etiquette. In their hearts, what is Li Yuanjing?
"By the way, I don't know what the two dukes of the state are visiting my Great Zhao Wangting today?" Li Yuanjing laughed.

He actually guessed it too.

Moreover, the reason why he appeared here at this time was actually to see Datang's reaction.

Although Li Er is not here, these two can represent Li Er's attitude at certain times.

Compared with Li Chengqian, he is more afraid of his elder brother.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "What? King Zhao doesn't intend to invite us to the Great Zhao Royal Court?"

"Oh, look at this king's mind." Li Yuanjing pretended to be stunned, and immediately shouted, "Come on, lead the way."

With that said, Li Yuanjing invited Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde to enter the present Great Zhao Royal Court together.

Riding on the horseback, Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "Your Highness, there is something I don't understand."

"Duke Qi just ask." Li Yuanjing said with a smile.

When Changsun Wuji heard the words, he took an extra look at him, he always had the feeling that this guy knew he was coming.

I thought, when did this guy become so smart?
Of course, he didn't take it seriously at the moment, and said with a smile: "This time the action of the Great Zhao Wangting is not small, does Zhao Wang know what kind of impact it will bring?"

"How could this king not know?" Hearing this, Li Yuanjing also looked helpless, "It's really helpless, presumably the two princes also know that in these years, my Dazhao royal court has hardly achieved any development, and the specific reasons don't need to be elaborated. right...

As for the previous incident, I, Zhao Wang Ting, was at fault first, and I don’t know who was behind it. I actually snatched hundreds of children from Riyue Mountain and brought them to Qingshuichuan.

And among them, by coincidence, there are Pusiruo's clansmen. When Pusiruo brought people to Qingshuichuan, I was also surprised. In desperation, I had no choice but to cede Qingshuichuan to Daming. Otherwise, my Da Zhao Wang Ting would have ceased to exist long ago.

As for Daming's move, this king really can't refuse, the two of you may not know that Daming is not as polite as in the imperial edict..."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanjing let out a long sigh.

Of course, his remarks had actually been communicated with Li Chengqian a long time ago.After all, he really didn't want to offend Datang, or in other words, he didn't want to offend his elder brother.

Brothers of the same mother can kill brothers of the same father, and brothers of the same father are even more capable of killing half-brothers.

What's more, he is still independent, and getting involved in the royal family dispute of the Tang Dynasty is courting death.

Changsun Wuji could understand Li Yuanjing's helplessness. Although they also suspected that this was planned by Li Yuanjing and Li Chengqian, from Li Yuanjing's standpoint, if there was a choice, they would never get involved with Li Chengqian.

"It's not easy for King Zhao." Changsun Wuji also sighed when he heard the words.

"Who says it's not." Li Yuanjing shook his head while riding a horse, and said, "That guy is too strong now, and I, Da Zhao Wangting, to be honest, I'm just trying to survive in the cracks.

Let's take one step at a time... The future King Zhao's court is in a dire situation. "

When it comes to acting skills, starting from Li Yuan, they are all in the same line. Don't say whether Changsun Wuji believes it or not, at least from Li Yuanjing's reaction, he really can't see the clue.

And he didn't mind these things, and immediately said: "Your Highness is indeed a bit stronger, and King Zhao doesn't mind, after all, Pusiruo has been following His Highness since the beginning of the incident.

And Da Zhao Wang Ting kidnapped Daming's children in Riyue Mountain, which is really a taboo, if His Highness does nothing, how can he convince the public? "

At the moment, Changsun Wuji seemed to be standing on a united front with Li Chengqian, and he spoke towards Li Chengqian inside and out, and he really looked like an uncle.

Of course, Li Yuanjing would not be fooled by him. Doesn't he know who Changsun Wuji is?In addition, Li Chengqian also specifically told him to be careful of the eldest grandson Wuji. With Li Chengqian's attitude, he still didn't know how to deal with the eldest grandson Wuji, so he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Qi Guogong, this king really doesn't know about this matter. What reason does the king have to go to Riyue Mountain to rob those children?

Can it threaten Pusiruo or bring some benefits to me, Da Zhao?
If the king sent people to rob those craftsmen, the king would not feel so wronged.

But the situation is not as good as people, what can I do? "

Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji also hesitated for a long time.

Not to mention, since Pusiruo approached Li Yuanjing about this matter, they have also inquired about it in many ways, but they really don't know who did it.

If you say it is Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian can only have an excuse for doing so, but the ultimate beneficiary of this excuse is actually Li Yuanjing.

And if you say it's Li Yuanjing, Li Yuanjing can't predict when Li Yuan will die, and Li Yuanjing doesn't have that much courage either.

To become a king by himself is to betray Datang, and to do so offends Li Chengqian, which is unreasonable.

"Hey..." Sighing, Changsun Wuji said, "I can't explain this matter clearly until now, but I really can't blame His Highness, it's not easy..."

Hearing what Changsun Wuji said, Li Yuanjing sneered in his heart, and then changed the subject: "By the way, the two princes are here today, what orders do you have?"

"King Zhao is joking, I dare not give any orders." Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "The changes made by the Great Zhao Wang Ting will have an extremely important impact on the future relationship between Tang and Ming. This must be known to King Zhao. ?”

"It's natural." Li Yuanjing said helplessly, "But this king really can't do anything about it. I think the two dukes are aware of the state of the Great Zhao royal court. How dare this king disobey that one's wishes.

To tell you the truth, at that time, this king fought for it and was even willing to cede the entire Qingshui River, but..."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanjing let out a long sigh, and he had to make some things clear.

Changsun Wuji wasn't too surprised, at this moment, he could listen to every word Li Yuanjing said, but it was just listening.

"I can understand." Changsun Wuji said, "This time, the old man and Wu Guogong came here for this purpose? This time, His Highness deliberately cut off the communication between Tang and Ming, which is not a good thing.

After all, Tang Ming is still one body after all, although His Highness has achieved quite a lot these years, he is still younger after all, if Tang Ming loses contact for a long time, the future will be worrying..."

Before Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he turned his head and stared at Li Yuanjing.

Hearing what he said, Li Yuanjing immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a problem. In this way, the relationship between His Majesty and His Majesty will only go further and further away, and the future is worrying..."

Li Yuanjing also imitated Changsun Wuji's tone and said, he didn't look at Changsun Wuji after he finished speaking, but looked back in the direction of Datang, and remained silent for a long time.

He understood what Changsun Wuji meant, but now it was obviously Changsun Wuji who came to talk to him, so why should he take the initiative to speak up.

In any case, Li Yuanjing belonged to the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, so it was normal to have a bit of a temper. If he was obsessive, Changsun Wuji would think too much.

Sure enough, after seeing his reaction, Changsun Wuji immediately stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's right, so the old man and Wu Guogong came here for this matter.

Although Zhao Wang has left my Great Tang now, but no matter what, he is still the royal family of my Great Tang, and he probably doesn't want to see my Great Tang fall apart, right? "

"That's natural." Li Yuanjing said immediately after hearing the words, "Anyway, this Great Tang is still the world of my Li family, as a descendant of the Li family, how could this king have such thoughts?

In the final analysis, when the day comes when this king's Great Zhao Wang Ting can't hold on, won't he have to rely on Datang? "

Hearing his words, Changsun Wuji immediately understood that this guy was looking for a way out for himself, and he didn't refuse. Of course, he didn't refuse when Li Yuanjing was useful now, but he didn't refuse if he didn't use it. When it comes to Li Yuanjing, his attitude will definitely not be like this.

"It's natural." Changsun Wuji laughed, "In any case, Li Tang's world will not be subverted after all. Since King Zhao also has this idea, the foreign ministers have some suggestions. I wonder if His Royal Highness Zhao is willing to accept it?"

"Duke Qi just speaks out." Li Yuanjing also said with a smile.

Seeing that the two couldn't get to the point for a long time, Yuchi Jingde sneered beside him, but he didn't say anything.

Obviously, these two are not fuel-efficient lamps, so just listen to them and learn from them.

"It's like this." Changsun Wuji naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity. He could see that Li Yuanjing roughly guessed the purpose of their visit, but because of face, he refused to speak out.

But when he wanted to save face, he immediately said, "This time the Great Zhao Royal Court is between Tang and Ming, and the situation is indeed embarrassing. Although Your Highness doesn't understand these things, we, the courtiers, have to pay attention.

Of course, we still have to take His Highness's face into account, so the old man feels that this problem can only be solved if Datang is allowed to enter the Great Zhao Royal Court in all directions.

But don't get me wrong, Your Highness.

Our so-called all-round settlement is only commercial and military, and we will not interfere with the policies of the Great Zhao Royal Court.

Moreover, the military presence is only to ensure the interests of the Great Zhao Royal Court in a certain way.

After all, Zhao Wangting's military capability is indeed weaker. If there is Datang's support, at least the old events of Qingshuichuan will not be repeated, right? "

The so-called old events in Qingshuichuan he was talking about was the fact that Li Chengqian let Daming's army pretend to be the remnants of Tuyuhun to toss wantonly in Qingshuichuan.

It's just that his words sounded threatening to Li Yuanjing's ears.

How do you feel about those words, it seems to be implying Li Yuanjing, if you don't allow my Tang army to enter the Great Zhao Wangting, then my Tang army can't be the remnants of Tuyuhun.

As for what happened to the remnants of Tuyuhun who ravaged Qingshui River back then, everyone knew it well, but no one said it clearly.

"If there is military support from the Tang Dynasty, then the king would be very grateful." Li Yuanjing said immediately, "If you are not afraid of the ridicule of the two princes, the current military strength of the Great Zhao Royal Court, to put it bluntly, is probably not as good as that of the Great Zhao Dynasty. One state and one capital of Tang Dynasty.

Let's put it this way, back then, as long as we had the military capabilities of one prefecture and one prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, why wouldn't the remnants of Tuyuhun be chased away by us?
Moreover, why have we been bullied by Daming so far? "

Speaking of this, Li Yuanjing let out a sigh.

But Changsun Wuji didn't listen to him at all, as long as you agreed.

He just had such a purpose this time, so he nodded immediately and said: "Since His Highness agrees, then I will not say much. In this way, Wu Guogong has already made arrangements.

It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, what does His Highness think? "

After he finished speaking, Yuchi Jingde immediately smiled and said, "There's no need to be so anxious."

The army stationed in Dazhao Wangting, this is their attitude towards Li Er, on this point, he supports it.

Even though he has no personal relationship with Changsun Wuji, the interests are the same after all.

"That's a good relationship." Li Yuanjing smiled immediately when he heard that, "This is a good thing. This king has thanked the two dukes here first."

He is really thankful.

Neither Changsun Wuji nor Yu Chigong expected that before them, Li Chengqian had already explained to Li Yuanjing, asking him to allow Datang to enter his Great Zhao Royal Court in all directions as much as possible.

Li Chengqian is also a fine individual, and disputes between Tang and Ming are inevitable.

It can be prevented as much as possible, but it is absolutely unavoidable.

Therefore, he would rather this kind of battle be within the controllable range.

And Great Zhao Wangting is a venue he specially prepared for the dispute between Tang and Ming.

Therefore, Li Yuanjing agreed very readily without any hesitation.

Both Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde were slightly taken aback.

what's the situation?
So straightforward?
This was something they never expected, but they hadn't realized that their move was in the hands of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian wished they were like this.

A limited and controlled fight is exactly what Li Chengqian wants.

At this moment, the two of them didn't know how to deal with Li Yuanjing's words.

People are like this, difficult things, even if you do it swearing, but as long as you do it successfully, you will have to brag about it for a while.

As for non-difficult things, although it is easy to do, even if you finish it, you can't get motivated.

They are obviously the latter at the moment.

Of course, even so, Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Then thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

After all, he looked at Yuchi Jingde, for this old guy, he cannot be commanded, there is no way, no matter in terms of status or status, the two are almost the same.

Seeing his appearance, Yuchi Jingde didn't say much at the moment, and said with a smile: "That's fine, I'll go back and make arrangements."

Changsun Wuji didn't speak, but Li Yuanjing didn't dare to show off, so he said immediately: "Then I'll have to thank Duke Wu."

Yuchi Jingde waved his hand, but didn't say much.

He didn't bother to talk about such things.

After Yuchi Jingde left, Changsun Wuji said: "Although Daming's arrogance has damaged His Highness's interests, it is indeed an opportunity for the Great Zhao Royal Court."

Hearing what Changsun Wuji said, Li Yuanjing was puzzled, "How do you say that?"

"Your Highness, think about it." Changsun Wuji smiled, "Although the current Great Zhao Royal Court does not have the fertile land before, no matter how fertile the Qingshuichuan land is, its potential is limited.

But today's Dazhao Wangting has a long border. Most importantly, he blocked the communication between Tang and Ming, which also meant blocking the communication between the East and the West.

Isn't this a good thing for Da Zhao Wang Ting? "

"If that's the case, it's not a bad thing." Li Yuanjing also smiled, "However, Qi Guogong also knows what the situation of my Great Zhao Wangting is. But if we can develop business, why do we end up here?"

"Isn't there my Great Tang?" Changsun Wuji smiled, "Anyway, my Great Tang is also the family of Great Zhao Wang Ting, isn't it? How can I sit idly by?"

He and Chu Suiliang and Xu Jingzong have the same meaning.

Of course, from this point of view, we can also find the tacit understanding between them.

"What regulations does Duke Qi have?" Li Yuanjing asked tentatively.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Does this need any regulations? Today's Da Zhao Royal Court has a unique geographical location, why doesn't His Highness take advantage of it?

If His Highness has limited energy, I, Datang, can also help His Highness, right?

Of course, this does not mean that my Tang Dynasty is high-spirited and upright. After all, it is about His Majesty and Your Highness, so naturally I cannot sit idly by. "

The last His Highness he mentioned was naturally Li Chengqian.

When Li Yuanjing heard this, he grinned.

Xindao, interesting...
