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

Chapter 709 Volume Why doesn’t His Highness replace him?

In this world, every person has his or her own position, but where does the distinction between right and wrong come from?

At this time, Quan Wanji, an old man with a clear stance, stepped into Taohe County with his mission.

Wang Renyou, Liu Shuyi, and Du Chuke had been waiting outside Hezhou City for a long time.

Of course, the reason why they were waiting outside the city was not because of Quan Wanji's face, nor was this face given to him.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." As soon as the carriage stopped, Quan Wanji said with his hands as he got off the carriage.

"Mr. Quan's words are wrong. In front of Mr. Quan, we are all juniors, so we should go out of the city to greet him respectfully." Wang Renyou said immediately with his hands in hand.

When the others heard this, they all agreed.

Respect your age rather than your generation. This is a tradition that many people adhere to.

Of course, Wang Renyou may be the only one who really thinks so.

"I am going to Zhao as an envoy this time, so I have to trouble you all." Quan Wanji said very politely, "Although I know something about the Royal Court of Zhao, I know very little about it. I still need you to explain a few things to me. yes."

"There is no rush for this moment." Liu Shuyi heard this and said with a smile, "We have prepared a banquet for Mr. Quan in the city. It has been a tiring journey. Let's take a short rest today and talk about business tomorrow."

No matter what era, officials seem to be like this. Even if their buttocks are on fire, the damn sense of ritual still has to fill you up.

Absolute bureaucracy!

"That's alright." Quan Wanji didn't understand this, so he nodded immediately and said, "In that case, I'll thank you all in advance."

He is not a person who relies on his elders, and he is also well versed in officialdom. In addition, he needs help from others, so naturally he will not betray everyone's good intentions at this time.

This is how people carry people in sedan chairs.

Soon, everyone returned to Hezhou City.

It is natural to change glasses at banquets, and Quan Wanji accepted it gladly.

Even though he doesn't like this approach, that's how it is in officialdom.

It wasn't until after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food that Quan Wanji smiled and said, "Everyone, I'm here in a hurry. In addition to the urgency of the matter, I would like you to introduce me to the situation of the Royal Court of Zhao."

Being able to hold it in until this point is already a measure of Quan Wanji's self-cultivation.

It was also at this moment that Liu Shuyi and others told Quan Wanji about many recent events.

They have already given face to others, and if they delay it any longer, it means they are ignorant.

After Quan Wanji heard what they had to say, he asked: "In other words, in name, Li Yuanjing is no longer in charge of the Great Zhao Royal Court?"

"That's what it is said." Wang Renyou heard the words and explained, "But Mr. Quan should also know that with Murong Shun's identity, he cannot be in charge of the Zhao royal court. Otherwise, what the Ming Dynasty man has done for so many years will not be the same." Has it become a joke?”

Nodding, Quan Wanji said: "That's the truth. To put it bluntly, Li Yuanjing is the real master of the Zhao Dynasty. Murong Shun is just a puppet. I know what to do. Today, I will thank you for your hospitality." "

After saying that, Quan Wanji stood up and bowed his hands.

Seeing this, everyone stood up and returned the courtesy.

Then Quan Wanji was arranged to stay.

They all knew that Quan Wanji was going to make final preparations as an envoy to Zhao Wangting tonight.

At this time, naturally it will not disturb him.

Although they also have a competitive relationship with Quan Wanji, now that their interests are aligned, they don't want to hold Quan Wanji back too much.

"It seems that tomorrow's meeting with Zhao Wangting and his party will not go well." After returning to the place where he checked in, Quan Wanji shook his head and said.

Li Yuanjing's attitude is already very revealing.

"Lang Jun actually doesn't have to worry too much. The purpose of Lang Jun's mission this time is just to understand King Zhao's intentions. Once he understands this problem, Lang Jun can naturally do business when he returns." Beside him, people are getting older year by year. Quan Wanji, an old servant who is still old, said.

For people like them, the old servants at home have been their companions since childhood, so there is no need to worry about loyalty.

When Quan Wanji heard this, he shook his head and said: "If it is just to find out Li Yuanjing's intentions, I don't have to go there myself... After all, His Highness still hopes that I will fight for Li Yuanjing.

I think back then, Li Yuanjing was very close to His Highness.

However, over the years, as Li Yuanjing traveled to the northwest and the late emperor passed away, the relationship between the two became increasingly estranged.

By the way, I asked you to send people to find Murong Ge. Is there any news? "

The old servant quickly said: "There is no news yet. I heard that after Murong Ge sneaked into the Ming Dynasty, he went into hibernation with the help of a mysterious man. He is probably waiting for time."

Waiting for your chance?

Quan Wanji sneered: "Now is his best time, why are he still waiting for the opportunity? I really think this person has any talent for managing the world, but now it seems that he is just mediocre.

Who is waiting for the real big things?

Then send someone to contact them, and finally find out the person behind it.

To us, Murong Ge is just a small person, with a great cause at best, but the person behind him is something we can fight for.

It is nothing more than the power of following the dragon. What others can give, our Highness can also give. "

Quan Wanji had never considered cooperating with Murong Ge.

It's not that he is unworthy, but the pride of the Tang people does not allow him to sacrifice the interests of the Tang Dynasty to fulfill the alien race!

The old servant stabilized the pressure and nodded calmly.

"You should go and rest too. I will think about the countermeasures for tomorrow for a while and then rest." Quan Wanji waved his hand and said.

……

The next day, early in the morning, Quan Wanji's delegation went straight to the Royal Court of Zhao.

The credentials of the Tang Dynasty had been delivered to Li Yuanjing a few days ago, so Wan Qipu and others had already heard that Quan Wanji would visit Li Yuanjing today.

Everyone doesn't care about this.

Although Li Yuanjing has already publicized that the Great Zhao Wangting will return it to Murong Shun according to the agreement drawn up between him and Murong Fuyun, but the handover will take time.

At the same time, Xu Jingzong smiled at the Sheriff's Mansion and said, "Is Quan Wanji setting off?"

"Let's go." Hearing this, the confidant smiled and said, "We set off early in the morning. I'm afraid everyone has left the country by now."

"Who sent him there this time? Could it be Liu Shuyi?" Xu Jingzong asked.

"It's not the Duke of Lu, but the Duke of Wulian County."

Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "Li Junxian, are they trying to trick Li Junxian again?"

He looked indifferent to this.

"But this Quan Wanji is so unreasonable." The confidant said, "This time when passing through Taohe County, he actually avoided Taozhou. This is because he doesn't take Lang Jun seriously."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Jingzong didn't care and said with a smile, "This is what smart people do. If you really pass by Taozhou, do you think I will see you or not?"

No, sorry. Sorry.

See you, haha, we are all embarrassed, so the best result is not to disturb each other. "

He can understand Quan Wanji's approach. At this juncture, tacit understanding is the best way to deal with it.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the other side. I also want to see if Quan Wanji, who has traveled thousands of miles from Chang'an, has the confidence to win over Li Yuanjing." For him, this is not a small matter.

If Li Yuanjing is willing to switch sides and support Li Ke, it means that he will have to add another number to Li Ke's balance.

As an opportunist, he has always been so cautious.

If it weren't for the help of nobles like the Cui family, to be honest, Li Ke would have no chance of winning with him.

……

On the other side, the Great Zhao Wangting.

Linzhou has been waiting for him for a long time.

When Quan Wanji came to visit, the person who came to greet him naturally couldn't be Wan Qipu. If he really wanted this guy to come over, not to mention other things, just to meet Li Junxian, if the two of them exchanged a few sarcastic words, maybe it would happen again. A big battle.

If he wasn't careful, the envoy Quan Wanji might be killed before he even saw Li Yuanjing.

"Your envoy has come all the way, and my Highness has prepared a banquet for your envoy." Lin Zhou immediately smiled.

When Quan Wanji heard this, he also smiled and said, "Then please lead the way, general."

He had nothing to say to Lin Zhou.

To put it bluntly, Linzhou was not worthy of him chatting with him.

Lin Zhou didn't care either. He knew that he was just a nobody, so he didn't say much at the moment. He immediately asked his subordinates to take over the defense of the mission and led the way.

Speaking of which, Linzhou was not a good person, and he specifically chose the direction of Wanqi Pu and the Chuhe Army to drive away the Tang people.

Along the way, Quan Wanji looked at this scene with helplessness in his heart. He knew that this was Li Yuanjing expressing his attitude.

This also made him more worried about the trip.

However, he didn't see any bloody scene today, which made him relieved.

Soon, everyone arrived at Zhao Wang's palace.

Li Yuanjing had indeed prepared a banquet long ago and had been waiting for it for a long time.

"Foreign ministers see His Royal Highness King Zhao." Quan Wanji immediately bowed and saluted.

Li Junxian and others also bowed in unison.

"No courtesy." Li Yuanjing smiled, waved his hand, and said with emotion, "This title of King Zhao will not be used for long, but it makes everyone laugh."

"Your Highness is joking." Quan Wanji didn't understand what Li Yuanjing meant, so he said calmly, "The King of Zhao was granted the title by the late emperor, and no one has deposed His Highness from his title so far. Why can't he claim to be the King of Zhao?"

"But in the early years, I overestimated my capabilities and went to the northwest to stand on my own. I have already betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and my father died. Who in the entire Tang Dynasty still recognizes me as King Zhao?" Li Yuanjing said with a bitter smile, "Now, This great Zhao royal court has to be returned to the Murong family, so King Zhao is just a joke."

"This time, that time." Quan Wanji said, "The Tuyuhun of the past has long been lost in the dust of history. Even if His Highness returns this land to the Murong Yi clan, how can they really stand on it?

If His Highness really wants to do this, the only ones who will suffer are the people under his rule. How can His Highness bear to let the people under his rule be in the flames of war again? "

Shaking his head, Li Yuanjing said: "In the early years, he went to the northwest to proclaim himself king. As far as the Tang Dynasty was concerned, it was disloyal. When his father died, as a son, he failed to mourn and keep vigil, which was unfilial.

If now we can't abide by the agreement we made with Busabo Khan, wouldn't it be unjust?

This king is already infamous, so let’s save some face for him..."

He can no longer support the imperial court of Zhao. Without being the master of the family, it is really difficult to understand how difficult it is to be a king. Back then, when he saw Li Chengqian prospering in the northwest, his mind got excited and he thought he had thought it through enough, and then he pounced on it.

But over the years, from the high spirits at the beginning to the sluggish pace now, he knew that he was really not that material.

In addition, he was really fed up with being caught between his royal brother and his son.

"Your Highness is serious." Quan Wanji said, "This time, before I went on my mission, His Highness the King of Shu told me that if the Imperial Court of Great Zhao needs anything, the Great Tang will do its best to help.

Even if His Highness wants to fulfill the agreement made back then, Datang will support it.

He was just a lonely Murong Shun. He could give it back to him, or he could take it away from him.

The heroes of the Tang Dynasty have not used troops in the northwest for many years. Perhaps many people have forgotten the power of the troops of the Tang Dynasty. "

Li Yuanjing heard it, but what if he heard it? He immediately smiled bitterly and said: "In that case, why do you need me? Do you think I am born to be a role model?"

"Why does Your Highness think so?" Quan Wanji said quickly, "How big is the Western Region? Naturally, a trustworthy person will be needed to guard the Western Region for the Tang Dynasty."

"Can you trust me?" Li Yuanjing sneered, "Your Majesty, do you think my imperial brother can trust me? If you really can trust me, why would I go far to the northwest?

Do you really think that the northwest wind can satisfy people? "

Quan Wanji did not speak, but looked at Li Junxian who was standing aside. Upon seeing this, Li Junxian immediately bowed and said, "The foreign ministers are leaving."

Seeing this, Li Yuanjing also waved his hand, signaling Gu Jianzhang to step back.

When only the three of them were left, Quan Wanji said: "Your Majesty can believe it or not. I dare not lie, but His Highness the King of Shu must be trustworthy."

"You want me to defect to Li Ke?" Li Yuanjing sneered.

"How can you say it's defection?" Quan Wanji said, "To be precise, it's cooperation.

The Western Region is so vast. Judging from His Highness’s experience in the Northwest over the years, His Highness must also know it very well?

Since that person set foot in the northwest, within just a few years, he has created a powerful country comparable to the Tang Dynasty. Doesn't His Highness have any ideas? "

"Everyone in the world probably has thoughts about the Ming Dynasty, but if I remember correctly, I have thoughts about the Ming Dynasty and actually did it. The grass on the grave is not ten feet deep, and it has at least begun to sprout, right?

Does your emissary think that my horoscope is strong, or has you already chosen the tomb for me? "Li Yuanjing sneered.

Quan Wanji, however, was not annoyed and said with a smile: "It all depends on people. When that man left Chang'an in the west, no one could have imagined that he would make such a big splash in the northwest, but in fact, he did it.

The reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it can do what others cannot. If His Highness didn't even dare to think about it, wouldn't it have become a joke when he went to the northwest?

Moreover, today's Ming Dynasty is not monolithic. His Highness must have heard that Murong Ge sneaked into the Ming Dynasty quietly, and someone secretly helped him to hide him.

To be honest with Your Highness, the person who hid Murong Ge had an extraordinary status in the Ming Dynasty. He had been secretly developing it for several years, and his influence had already spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. "

"Do you know who this person is?" Li Yuanjing was a little surprised.

Of course he had heard about Murong Ge, but everyone had different opinions on who was taking care of Murong Ge.

Quan Wanji's words aroused his interest.

"I'm afraid your Highness has forgotten that His Highness the King of Shu has also visited Riyue Mountain and has some of his own manpower in the Ming Dynasty. Is there anything strange about it?

After all, in the Ming Dynasty, that person was too powerful. Even if he was a servant, the real power in his hands could not match that of the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty?

How normal is it for someone to keep it secret?

In addition, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil at that time, who wouldn’t want to leave a way out for themselves? "

Quan Wanji did not answer directly, but spoke in a vague manner.

And Li Yuanjing really did this. If Quan Wanji really wanted to mention his name directly, he didn't believe it. If Li Ke really had a plan in Ming Dynasty, how could he reveal it easily?

On the contrary, what Quan Wanji said was reasonable and reasonable.

It's not a question of power, but a way out.

The cunning rabbit also knows the three caves, not to mention those guys.

"I really underestimate you." Li Yuanjing said with a smile.

"If you are not prepared at all, who would dare to get involved in that position?" Quan Wanji said, "That person is already strong, and who is not going to be in trouble when working under that person?"

"Does it mean that working under Li Ke is different?" Li Yuanjing said with a smile, "Forget it, let's not mention these. I have no fighting spirit now, so it is useless to tell me this.

I just want to live the rest of my life peacefully, and the rest has nothing to do with me. "

"Your Highness really doesn't want to replace it?" Quan Wanji said directly, "If His Highness the King of Shu can visit Dabao, he will definitely devote all the power of the Tang Dynasty to help His Highness replace it!"

He finally discovered that he was really refusing to take any chances with this guy.

Hearing this, Li Yuanjing also looked uninterested and said with a smile: "Even if it is true as you said, and Li Ke is really allowed to come to Dabao, how will he let me sit and enjoy his achievements? How can he allow others to snore next to the bed? This book It’s the emperor’s idea. When the time comes, your Highness will be the first one to take action on me, right?”

"Your Highness's words are wrong." Quan Wanji said, "If it really comes to that point, those people in the Ming Dynasty will definitely hate the Tang Dynasty, after all, their success in becoming a dragon has come to nothing.

This is your Highness's opportunity. With the help of the Tang Dynasty secretly, and the secret chess and cooperation inside and outside, it is not impossible to annex the Ming Dynasty.

As for what His Highness is worried about, it actually does not exist.

Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has been fighting continuously. After another battle for the right to inherit the throne, it is time for the Tang Dynasty to rest and recuperate.

It will take at least a few years. If His Highness seizes this opportunity, won't he be able to divide the world into two parts?

Of course, if His Highness is not willing, then we will have to let Murong Ge do all this. Does His Highness think that His Highness is our only choice?

However, there is a difference between closeness and distance. Your Highness controls the northwest. Even if the world is divided into two parts, this world is our Han people’s after all. Who would be willing to take advantage of a foreign race unless they have no choice? "

Li Yuanjing stopped talking.

Heartbeat?

He must be excited. If Li Chengqian was taken away from the Ming Dynasty and replaced with Li Chengqian, he would be able to feel proud and proud.

But the question is, is it really that simple?

Now, where did Li Ke get the strength to fight Li Chengqian?

The cake is very big and beautiful, but it cannot satisfy your hunger!

If you can't actually take a bite, no matter how much you say, it's all nonsense.

After struggling for a while, Li Yuanjing shook his head and said: "Sorry, I haven't seen a single possibility so far.

What I shouldn’t say is that I don’t think you can win against Gao Ming.

In terms of personal ability, Gao Ming is obviously better than Li Ke? "

Even though he was moved, he did not dare to make such a decision easily. Although Li Chengqian was a bit more domineering, the conditions he gave were also harsher than those given by Li Ke.

But he understood that Li Chengqian's conditions were the most realistic.

As for Li Ke, the world is divided into two parts, haha, if it really comes to that point, he will be the most disgusting thorn in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty!

There is no suspense about this at all.

"That person is indeed super capable." Quan Wanji was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "It is undeniable that among his peers today, that person is definitely the most outstanding being, but such a figure is not the best in history. It's rare, but not many actually make it to the end.

As for our confidence, Your Highness must have forgotten that the nobles now support my Highness. In the Tang Dynasty, the energy contained in the nobles must be well known to your highness, and the nobles spare no effort to support us.

So what if that person is a wise man?

The people's support is not with him!

Moreover, the most important thing is that all the power of that person is in the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, in the Tang Dynasty, that person has almost no help.

Don’t forget, we are fighting for the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and we look down upon the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty..."

"I'm afraid you have forgotten it." Li Yuanjing sneered, "If the queen of Chang'an is still there, half of the officials in the Tang Dynasty will not change their ways, even if there is no Gao Ming, there are still Qingque, Zhinu and others.

How could people like Changsun Wuji allow Li Ke to rise to power? Then wouldn't it be a joke when they rebelled?

Moreover, do you really think that my imperial brother is a good person? "

After saying that, Li Yuanjing felt more and more that Li Ke had no chance at all.

The nobles are very powerful, and they can indeed influence people's hearts, but the problem is, the nobles are also annoying!

Quan Wanji let out a long sigh and said after a while: "Actually, there is no rush. Your Highness can think about it slowly. It is actually too early to say this now. I hope that when the wind direction changes one day in the future, Your Highness can remember the foreign minister today." said.

The foreign minister then left first. "

After saying that, Quan Wanji stood up and left.

He knows very well that this kind of thing cannot be settled in one go. If you want others to convince you, why don't you show off your muscles?

Talking in plain words is really not convincing.

Li Yuandang nodded without saying much. After he left, he looked at Gu Jianzhang and asked, "How true do you think what he said is true?"

Shaking his head, Gu Jianzhang said: "It's hard to say, but now the person behind him has made it clear that he wants to compete with the person from Riyue Mountain, and it is expected that he will win His Highness's support.

However, the old minister didn't believe that that person had laid out plans in Riyue Mountain a long time ago. "

"Huh?" Li Yuanjing asked.

He also cares about this issue, and it is even the issue that he cares about most today.

If Ming Dynasty is in chaos from within, it will be a huge opportunity.

"The really powerful people in the Ming Dynasty are all the members of the team who started the business. Isn't it a big joke to say that they defected to the King of Shu?" Gu Jianzhang said, "Although the one from Riyue Mountain is quite powerful, But he is also extremely generous to his ministers.

In recent years, it seems that except for Ihara Shin, he has never executed any of his ministers.

Sometimes, he is even willing to take his subordinates to make some money.

Therefore, those people do not lack status, wealth, and have no basic conditions to betray Him.

Besides, in the past, the King of Shu had nothing worthy of their surrender...

If I really want to say that there was a connection between the Ming Dynasty and the King of Shu, I can only think of one person. "

"Who?" Li Yuanjing was a little curious.

"Murong Shun," Gu Jianzhang said, "After all, this woman's mother is the former Princess Guanghua of the Sui Dynasty, and she is somewhat related to the King of Shu."

"..." Li Yuanjing was speechless.

That's it?

"But who is the person who secretly supported Murong Ge? It's worth digging deeper." Li Yuanjing said, "Since this person dares to hide Murong Ge, it means that this person is extremely dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, and in the Ming Dynasty, he has the ability to do so. There are really not many of them.

You can pay attention to this aspect.

Although I promised Gao Ming, if Gao Ming gets away with it on his own, I will not be blamed. "

Gu Jianzhang shook his head and said: "I have arranged for people to investigate, but the results have been little for the time being."
