This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

The master behind Fang Yiai is naturally Li Chengqian. In fact, it is not just him. To be precise, Li Chengqian is behind everyone who is on this mission.

It's just that Li Chengqian never taught them how to deal with everything they will face, but has been subtly changing their thinking patterns over the years.

From the perspective of future generations, it is brainwashing, which is also a long-term project, but Li Chengqian has really persisted for so many years.

He actually knows very well that one person can never defeat a group of people.

Fighting alone is just a fool's errand.

Li Er was also thinking about what Fang Yiai said at this moment.

He didn't care much about the enfeoffment system. After a long time, Li Er asked: "If your highness insists on sending troops south, will you be willing? You know, as long as you follow the steps now, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to your fathers."

He had actually been thinking just now, where did the Tang Dynasty go?
Isn’t it just because everyone has become famous these years?
The world is already at peace, who is willing to mobilize troops again?

Even though Datang has won all its foreign wars in recent years, compared to back then, it still lacked some.

It is said that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but once those barefoot people in the past put on shoes, it will be difficult to adapt to the bare feet of the past, right?
Fang Yiai was not so aware, and she was quite surprised when she heard this and asked: "Why don't you want to?

We, the Ming Dynasty officers and men, all count as one, who wouldn’t want to?
As soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we have only one wish! "

"Huh?" Li Er asked curiously, "What wish?"

Not to mention his curiosity, the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were also quite curious.

For a moment everyone looked at Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai didn't hesitate at all, but her expression became serious, and she said with a longing look on her face: "The soul returns to Yongshan!"

"Yongshan?"

Hearing these two words, many people were stunned for a moment. They forgot...

Li Er did not forget it, and said with some surprise: "Is it the Yongshan Mountain back then?"

Fang Yiai nodded and said: "Yes, it is the Yongshan Mountain of the past. The soul returns to Yongshan Mountain, which is the highest honor for all officials of the Ming Dynasty!

We, this is what our hearts desire! "

For the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, nothing could compare with the temptation of Yongshan.

Even at this moment, in Tai Chi Hall, it was difficult to hide the desire in his eyes.

Li Er observed carefully and was somewhat surprised to find that not only Fang Yiai, but also all the officials of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be like this, which surprised him.

It wasn't anything else, but the energy and spirit of Daming's people, which really shocked him.

At this moment, everyone also thought of Yong Shan in the past. When they looked at the Ming Dynasty's mission, they were all a little surprised, but at the same time they were a little familiar, but there was always a sense of strangeness in the familiarity.

Why is this so?
Some people couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

It was at this time that Li Xiaogong revealed the secret.

"When the army was launched, I had seen this kind of resolute look..."

Yes, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, they were like this, resolute and determined!
Li Er heard this and said with emotion: "Yes, we were like this back then."

Recalling those turbulent years, why does Li Er have so many mixed feelings in his heart?
After all, now that their family is richer, they really don’t have the courage they had back then!
"I am ashamed." Seeing Li Er like this, all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty immediately bowed to apologize.

"Over the past few years, the country has been peaceful and the people have been at peace, and the world has been at peace. We have also been smoothed away by this peaceful and prosperous age. Come to think of it, I am still slacking off. Please punish me."

Changsun Wuji bowed.

Does he feel this way?
Of course there is, how could it not.

In the past, when he followed Li Er and started the army, he was only in his 20s. At that time, they were high-spirited and often got together to criticize Fang Qiu for the general trend of the world. It was so enjoyable!
Later, he unified the world, but was squeezed out and framed by Prince Yin's party until Liu Wenjing's tragic death. At that time, everyone in the Qin Palace was in danger, and it was in desperation that he pushed Li Shimin all the way to where he is today.

But what about today?

Do they still have the high spirits of the past?

There are still the same group of people in the court, but the feeling is no longer the same.

Li Er smiled, waved his hand and said: "The assistant machine's words are serious. You are not the only one who is slacking off. Aren't I also slacking off? Think about that time, before I ascended the throne, I was fighting in all directions. How happy was it?"
However, since I ascended the throne, I have been bound by this small throne..."

As he spoke, he turned his head and patted the throne under his butt. Everyone couldn't figure out what he wanted to do for a moment.
While everyone was thinking, Li Er smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We old guys recalling the past will make the Ming Dynasty's envoys laugh."

"How dare the foreign ministers and others do?" Changsun Chong said quickly when he saw this.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, just read it and tell others everything. The Tang Dynasty has never kept any secrets from the Ming Dynasty.

By the way, what is the purpose of the Ming Dynasty sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty? "

Speaking of which, even now, neither Li Er nor the officials of the Tang Dynasty know the intention of the Ming Dynasty's envoys.

Of course, Li Er had some guesses, but guesses were just guesses after all.

When Changsun Chong heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "My Ming Dynasty has not been established for a long time. Although I have had the idea of ​​visiting the Tang Dynasty several times, I have been unable to do so due to the domestic situation. Now, my Ming Dynasty has basically solved the possible internal and external troubles." , then the plan for this official visit to Datang was made.

Of course, the first purpose is to appreciate the elegance of the Celestial Kingdom, and the second is to negotiate with Datang to launch deeper cooperation between Tang and Ming Dynasty.

This can be seen from the fact that the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty sent a large number of elites as envoys. "

Li Er nodded when he heard the words and said with a smile: "That's very good, but your envoy can discuss these matters with me, Chao Pushe and the ministers of various ministries..."

It can be seen that Li Er is not interested in these.

Of course, this was also because he had other thoughts just now.

After briefly communicating for a while, the meeting broke up.

Of course, the court meeting was dispersed, but the people remained.

After Li Er returned to the palace, Changsun Wuji immediately organized officials from the two countries to go to the Ministry of Rites to discuss matters and launch friendly consultations on issues between the two countries.

And more people left after going to court.

For a meeting between the two countries of this level, not everyone is qualified to participate.

But it's interesting to say that I don't know whether it was arranged by Changsun Wuji or Li Er. Cui Shilang of the Cui family, Doctor Zheng of the Zheng family, and Quan Wanji, the minister Zuo Cheng, were all among them.

But people like Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Wen Yanbo, and Xiao Yu, by chance, did not show up.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Chong was also a little surprised.

Your Majesty's meaning is very obvious.

"I just heard from your envoy that Ming Dynasty wants to fully cooperate with Ming Dynasty in commerce and industry?" Quan Wanji asked bluntly as soon as he came up.

Changsun Chong smiled and said: "It is too early for full cooperation. I remember that I made it very clear just now in the main hall. This time is to launch deeper cooperation between Tang and Ming. Why, Quan Zuocheng doesn’t understand?”

Comprehensive cooperation, are you kidding me? Ming Dynasty surpassed Tang Dynasty by more than one step in industry and commerce?

If it is really a comprehensive cooperation, what does it have to do with support?
More importantly, if we really talk about it, the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Tang Dynasty.

If comprehensive cooperation is launched, Datang may overtake Ming in these two aspects before long. This is not the result they want to see.

"Humph, is this the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty? It's not like there has been no cooperation between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty over the years. The market negotiation and the later treaty ports were not all products of the cooperation between the two countries.

But look, what kind of benefits have these cooperations brought to Datang?
I have made a rough calculation and found that since the opening of the treaty port, hundreds of thousands of wealth from the Tang Dynasty has been circulated to the Ming Dynasty every year. Is this the cooperation you are talking about?

How shameless! "

Quan Wanji had a look of disdain on his face. He was really not just talking nonsense. Since the opening of the treaty port, although many merchants in the Tang Dynasty made a lot of money through it, the real bulk of it went to the Ming Dynasty. This is indisputable. fact.

"Quan Zuocheng is right." Changsun Chong heard this and said with great disdain, "Could it be that these coins were given to me by Ming Dynasty for no reason?

Didn’t Ming Dynasty pay for the corresponding products?

Or should we, the people of Ming Dynasty, contribute their labor force to the Tang Dynasty? "

"Huh!" Quan Wanji snorted coldly, not knowing how to defend himself.

However, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Tang Jian and others remained silent.

When they knew that Wan Ji and others were involved in the meeting between the two countries, they knew Li Er's intention. To put it bluntly, this dispute had nothing to do with them, it was just to make up for the loss.

"Then how do you plan to cooperate?" Seeing that Quan Wanji couldn't handle it anymore, Zheng Xu immediately laughed.

Changsun Chong glanced at him and said with a smile: "The specific cooperation matters can be discussed. After all, neither you nor I are talents in industry and commerce.

In my Ming Dynasty, there is a saying that professional things should be left to professionals. "

"Then what did you say after talking for a long time?" Quan Wanji snorted coldly when he heard this. Isn't this a joke?
Changsun Chong said meaningfully: "Didn't I say that we need deeper cooperation?"

After hearing his words, everyone was stunned for a moment. Is there any deeper cooperation?

The old fox Changsun Wuji only thought for a moment and immediately reacted, looking at Changsun Chong with anger in his eyes.

This kid is just being ridiculous!
Changsun Chong, however, didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Why, you haven't figured it out yet?"

He was not in a hurry, and just looked at everyone directly.

But Fang Yiai and others were sitting there indifferently. They were just here to make up the numbers. Under normal circumstances, they did not need to intervene in such matters.

Of course, real deputy envoys like Wang Dequan and Pu Lebobo are qualified to say that.

But the backbone at this moment is obviously Changsun Chong.

There is no way, there are some words that Chang Sun Chong can say, but they can't. This is a very real problem.

None of them were fools. After listening to Changsun Chong talking about in-depth cooperation one after another, everyone reacted.

This was not done in the court of the two countries, but privately between Ming Dynasty and them.

"Your envoy is really arrogant. He actually dares to bewitch the officials of the Tang Dynasty in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. How brave he is!" Quan Wanji immediately shouted after reacting.

Just now, he saw the hesitation on the faces of Cui and Zheng. He knew that these two guys were weighing things up. How could he still sit still at this time?
Changsun Chong immediately shrugged and asked with a confused expression: "What does Quan Zuocheng mean by this? When did the foreign ministers confuse the officials of the Tang Dynasty? Please make it clear to Quan Zuocheng!"

After speaking, he also looked indignant, looked at Li Xiaogong, Changsun Wuji and others, and asked: "Dare you ask the ministers and servants, this is the way of hospitality in the Tang Dynasty? Are you arbitrarily slandering the envoys of other countries? This matter , I must ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for Qingming Festival!"

"Hmm..." Li Xiaogong coughed twice uncomfortably after hearing this, and then said, "Your Majesty, please don't get angry." After saying that, he looked at Quan Wanji again and said helplessly, "Quan Zuo Cheng, be careful what you say!"

Although he was blaming Quan Wanji on his lips, he sighed for this old guy in his heart.

In one day, he was tricked by Changsun Chong twice.

But this time, even though he knew it was a trap, he still had to jump.

In the final analysis, Zheng and Cui were to blame for their hesitation.

Otherwise, wouldn't he understand that Chang Sun Chong's words revealed nothing, and what he was accusing was just his conjecture.

"I made a mistake." Quan Wanji said with cupped hands.

As he said that, he looked at Changsun Chong and others, and he also took it seriously in his heart. He didn't dare to look down on these young boys from the past anymore.

"If you talk too much, you will make mistakes." Changsun Chong said with a smile, "If the foreign minister remembers correctly, Quan Zuocheng made a lot of mistakes today, right?
Listen to the boy's advice, be careful in your words and deeds, and work conscientiously all your life. If you are a famous teacher in the world, why bother to grow old and become a flower?Stained with trouble silk?

My Royal Highness often says that all troubles in the world come from desires. If there are no desires, there will be no pursuits. With his identity and status, Quan Zuocheng is regarded as a free man in this world. "

"Presumptuous!" As soon as Changsun Chong finished speaking, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but cursed.

He really didn't expect that this boy of his was getting more and more courageous. Forget it he was so weird before, now he actually dared to threaten Quan Wanji.

Although it is not stated explicitly, the meaning is expressed between the lines.

This made him unable to sit still.

Tang Jian and others also frowned. These little bastards were becoming more and more daring.

Quan Wanji didn't think it was a big deal. Hearing Changsun Chong's words, he smiled and said, "I have been through many years of ups and downs. I have seen the unrivaled achievements of the former Sui Emperor Wen. Emperor Yang's mediocrity caused turmoil in the world.

I have lived a good life, although it did not last long, and I have also experienced hardships, although it cannot be compared with the noble envoy and others.

But as a scholar, the Confucian classics are always with him, and the Master's teachings are never forgotten in his heart.

I still remember what the sages once said, even if tens of thousands of people are there, I will go! "

This is his attitude, very clear.

Changsun Chong didn't think anything was wrong. He nodded and said with a smile: "I admire Quan Zuocheng's high moral character and integrity. If I offend you in the future, I will ask Quan Zuocheng to forgive him.

I'm just a little regretful that I didn't worship under Zuo Cheng's disciples in the past, learn the meaning of Mr.'s scriptures, and understand the principles of Mr. Zuo. "

After saying that, Changsun Chong bowed as a salute.

Quan Wanji was slightly surprised to see Changsun Chong like this, but he helped him up warmly and said with a smile: "If I block your envoy's ambition to reach the top of the clouds in the future, I will do whatever you have to do." ! As a minister, my only word is loyalty, and I will never regret it until my death!"

After that, the two of them laughed together.

But the others present could not laugh.

They heard that this was the Daming Group and the Li Ke Group, and they were officially at war.

From this moment on!

Although the two of them spoke in a literate manner, the cold light at the beginning of the war was revealed between the lines.

To put it bluntly, it was not settled.

For a moment, Changsun Wuji and others also shook their heads and sighed.

They guessed the result, but not the process.

What happened next was much more interesting. Both parties refused to give in at the negotiating table.

Changsun Chong even said bluntly: "The cooperation between the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty does not want any nobles to participate!"

In one sentence, the nobles were excluded.

……

While the two delegations were exchanging words, Wei Zheng and others slowly walked out of the palace gate.

Outside the palace gate, Wei Shuyu stood bowed.

Perhaps he had been away from Chang'an for too long, and he was not very young when he left, so not many people knew him.

Just because there were soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Chang Ming Army around him, the palace gate guards thought that the Ming envoys were waiting for Chang Sun Chong and others.

It wasn't until Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu and others walked out of the palace that Wei Shuyu strode out. When he walked to Wei Zheng, he knelt on his knees and said with a tearful voice: "The unfilial son Wei Shuyu pays his respects to Aye."

At first, Wei Zheng was stunned, wondering whose boy he was, maybe he had been wronged in some way, but when he heard Wei Shuyu's words, he was stunned.

Xiao Yu smiled on the side.

He knew that so many descendants of the Xungui family went to find their brothers yesterday, and naturally Wei Shuyu's situation could not be hidden.

However, only Wei Zheng didn't know.

Everyone had a tacit understanding not to tell him.

"Growing taller..." Wei Zheng said this after a long while after helping Wei Shuyu up, but it could be seen that his eyes were shining.

He only had such a son, and he sent him to the Ming Dynasty, thinking that he could support him. Who knew that it would be years before we saw him again, and when we saw him again, he didn't even recognize his son.

"Aye is worried." Wei Shuyu looked at his father who was getting older, feeling a little painful in his heart.

Parents are not far away, so they must travel well...

Unfortunately, he didn't do it.

Even though it was not his intention, he failed to do it after all.

"Congratulations, your son has grown up a lot now than he did back then. I'm very happy to congratulate you." Xiao Yu said with a smile from the side.

As an old friend for many years, he was still very happy for his old brother.

"I will take the first step today, everyone, I'm sorry." Wei Zheng said, bowed his hands to everyone, and left immediately with Wei Shuyu.

He was indeed happy. After all, such a son suddenly appeared in front of him. How could he not be happy?

Although he is a bit stricter on weekdays, he is still a father after all.

After Wei Zheng and his son got on the Wei family's carriage together, Wei Shuyu took out a letter from his arms and said, "Aye, His Highness asked the child to bring this back."

When he saw Li Chengqian's letter, Wei Zheng was stunned and thought to himself, could it be that the one who asked his son to come back was doing work for him?
Thinking of this, he was slightly disappointed.

To be honest, he has always been a prince, not because his son is with Li Chengqian, but because he thinks that is the way it should be.

After receiving the letter, Wei Zheng tore open the envelope directly.

Wei Gong:

See words like meeting.

Today, I will send your son back to Chang'an without any request.

Just because Wei Gong only has a son, Shu Yu, who is not around all the time. As a parent, how can you not be concerned about him?
When Wei Gong sent Shu Yu to Riyue Mountain, I was not very grateful and understood Wei Gong's deep meaning.

However, several years have passed by with the wind. Now I am able to protect myself and have a place to establish myself. I will never dare to be selfish like this.

Over the years, Shuyu has been with me and has not dared to lecture him on how to manage the world, but in the end, he has not ruined his way of studying.

Now that Shu Yu has become a talented person, I have nothing to teach him. To send him back to Chang'an is to let him fulfill his filial piety and not to regret that he will become a son who wants to support him but cannot be loved by him.

Finally, I deeply feel the love that Duke Wei had for protecting me in the past, and I don’t dare to accept it lightly. I only wait to see the real chapter in the future...

Li Chengqian's letter didn't contain much content, but it contained no requests. This surprised Wei Zheng, but he was also quite relieved. At this moment, the self-doubt he had had due to the gradual growth of the Ming Dynasty over the years finally gradually faded away.

He realized that his choice back then was correct!
The depression in my heart is also dissipating.

After putting the letter away carefully, Wei Zheng looked at his son lovingly and asked, "What will your Highness give you when you return to Beijing this time?"

"No, His Highness said that the child has not paid a visit to the family for many years. A delegation happened to be in Beijing this time, so he asked the child to come back with him. The child thought that it was true that he had not fulfilled his filial piety in front of Aye and his mother for many years, so he agreed. When the time comes, we will go back with the mission." Wei Shuyu said clearly.

Indeed, when he came back, Li Chengqian did not give him any tasks.

Wei Zheng was even more satisfied when he heard what he said.

Li Chengqian did not take advantage of his son. He still knew his son's character. Since he was still planning to go back, he didn't know Li Chengqian's arrangements.

He also smiled in his heart and said, silly boy, your Highness doesn’t want you anymore.

Of course, he would never say this.

At this moment, he was in a good mood.

It was a small matter that his son was not crippled by education, and he actually didn't care too much.

What he cares about is that even though the prince of the Tang Dynasty has such achievements now, he is still the same as in the past, and he does not really become unscrupulous because of some achievements.

From this point alone, Wei Zheng is indeed qualified as a minister.

But being a father, well, is a bit unreliable.

"Go home and have a drink with you today as father." Wei Zheng said with a hearty smile.

He hasn't been this happy for many years.

Wei Shuyu thought it was his arrival that put a smile on his father's face, and he immediately regretted it. If he had known this, he should have come back long ago.

But how did he know that at this moment, he was just a tool between Li Chengqian and Wei Zheng.

No one scolds me?wipe!
