Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

"The right servant of the Shangshu, Feng Deyi, has profound knowledge and senior qualifications. He is also the elder of the two dynasties. His ministers recommended him as an envoy for peace talks to go to Turkic." Li Chengqian said proudly, not paying attention to what he said. Li Shimin had a displeased look on his face.

"boom"

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, the court boiled like a broken pot.Li Chengqian recommended Feng Deyi, but the courtiers could not understand the meaning.The Turkic royal court was located in the Yin Mountains of Mobei, and now it is the season of freezing weather, so Feng Deyi's old and frail body may die before he can reach the royal court.As for the relationship between Feng Deyi and Li Ke, how could everyone not know the conspiracy behind Li Chengqian.

"My minister also recommended the right servant of Shangshu to shoot Feng Deyi." The speaker was Bo Zhaojie, the master of Honglu Temple.The relationship between him and Li Chengqian is extraordinary, and he is a die-hard supporter of Li Chengqian.When Li Chengqian was planning this matter with Cui Zhiji in the East Palace, he talked with Cui Zhiji and asked him to interpret the courtiers who supported Li Chengqian.So, after hearing Li Chengqian finish speaking, he was the first to jump out.

"My minister also recommends Feng Pushe," said Yang Wen, a member of Zhongshushe, who came out of the class.

After Yang Wen finished speaking, he saw many courtiers stand up and recommend Feng Deyi to be an envoy to the Turks at the same time.

Li Ke understood Li Chengqian's intentions when Li Chengqian proposed Feng Deyi's name, but he found that Feng Deyi had never interrupted, and he was surprisingly calm. He immediately understood Feng Deyi's calm purpose and retracted his request. Rebuttal words.At the same time, he carefully looked at a group of courtiers who supported Li Chengqian, and found that the people who came out to support them were all small officials of the sixth or seventh rank.But there are also many people who are not of high rank, but they hold real power, just like Yang Wen from Zhongshushe. He is only an official of the fifth rank, but he is responsible for drafting the imperial edict and has great power.

Li Shimin looked coldly at the dozens of courtiers kneeling in the hall, and remained silent.But Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others were quite surprised by Li Chengqian's actions.They didn't expect that Li Chengqian would do such an unwise thing. With Li Shimin's character, how could he let an old courtier like Feng Deyi be sent to Turkic?Even if Feng Deyi recommended himself, Li Shimin would not let him go, let alone Li Chengqian's recommendation?

And Changsun Wuji was also taken aback after hearing Li Chengqian's words. He didn't expect that his nephew's language was not astonishing and endless, so he dared to recommend Feng Deyi.However, he was also angry at Li Chengqian's stupidity. How could such an obvious strategy of using strength to fight against Li Shimin be fooled.Didn't you tell Li Shimin that you are very dissatisfied with Li Ke and want him to go to Turkic as an envoy and ruin his reputation?

At the same time, after Zhao Jie and Yang Wen and a group of courtiers listed and recommended De Yi, the hall was temporarily silent.Because, when Li Shimin was in power in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang dynasty was good. Although there were actions to suppress courtiers, none of them would make an old man who would die on the way to Turkic to be promoted to the position of envoy to Turkic.Besides, Li Shimin is not a faint king, and he himself would not agree.Therefore, the ministers and military generals who really held real power in the DPRK, including Li Xiaogong, Yu Chigong and others expressed silence.

Li Tai glanced at Li Chengqian with contempt, and then at Li Ke with great anticipation, following Xiao's example, the old monk was in samadhi and ignored him.Li Chengqian was so stupid that he could force Li Ke to go to Turkic by recommending Feng Deyi. He was so naive, but at the same time he hoped that Li Ke could go to Turkic as an envoy.After all, Li Ke can be hit without a shot himself, why would he not do it?Otherwise, Li Ke and Li Chengqian are not strong enough to want to be, how can he benefit from it?

Li Shimin didn't speak, neither did Feng Deyi at the time, nor did the court ministers, and only a few clowns were performing their own plays. Li Ke felt that today's court meeting was very funny.However, he also thought of what Li Shimin said just now, "Could it be that no one in my great Tang Dynasty dared to send an envoy to Turks? No one was sure that the host people would do something?" Thinking back to a few days ago when I knew that the city of Suzhou was broken and the people would be massacred by the Turks, but I didn’t tell about it because of my own selfish desires, I secretly said to myself that I would do something for the people of Suzhou in the future.Therefore, when he is going to Turkic as an envoy now, it is time for him to fulfill his promise that day, how can he shrink back?

"I told my father, my son, that I am willing to send an envoy to the Turkic people to show off our country's prestige and save our people." Li Ke said majesticly, with his head held high and his chest held high.

"Promote our country's prestige and save our people." The sonorous and forceful half word echoed in the Tai Chi Hall, like a sharp sword splitting the haze in everyone's hearts.

"Promote our country's prestige and save our people." The sonorous half-word echoed in the Tai Chi Hall, like a jar of strong wine, arousing the blood of the men in the hall.

"Promote our country's prestige and save our people." The sonorous and forceful half word echoed in the Tai Chi Hall, like a heavy hammer hitting Li Shimin's heart.

"Okay, okay" Li Shimin stopped talking after finishing these three words.Think about Li Chengqian just now, and look at Li Ke now.The same own son, why is there such a big difference?Li Shimin didn't know what to say, because he was moved, he was moved by his son's actions.It's not that he doesn't know what kind of impact he will have on the peace talks with the Turks, no matter what the outcome is.However, he didn't expect that his son would be willing to take on such a responsibility. He didn't expect that his son would be willing to pay when he was unwilling to pay anything.What can he say?What should he say?

"Your majesty, the old minister's wish," Feng Deyi said bluntly when he was out of class at this time.

Li Ke will not go to Turkic, this is Feng Deyi's only firm answer to himself.Therefore, he would rather go to Turkic by himself, and would rather give his life on the way to Turkic.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go." Just after Feng Deyi finished speaking, before Li Shimin could answer, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in seventh-grade green come out to ask for the road.

Feng Deyi took the initiative to go to Turkic, and everyone understood the reason.Because he supports Li Ke, a loyal supporter of his Hanwang Party, he can sacrifice himself in order to prevent Li Ke from taking risks.However, this small official invited the Turkic envoy at this time, is it also for Li Ke?Everyone could not help turning their eyes to this moment.The person is none other than Di Zhixun, the county magistrate of Chang'an.As Di Zhixun's father, Shangshu Zuocheng Di Xiaoxu saw his son take the initiative to invite Ying, his face showed a look of appreciation.

While observing Di Zhixun, Li Ke did not let Di Xiaoxu go. After seeing Di Xiaoxu's expression, he couldn't help being shocked.Like a father, like a son, it's no wonder that Di Zhixun was born with such a famous name as Di Renjie. Just look at the behavior of this father and son.

And Di Zhixun, who was kneeling on the main hall, did not shy away from the gazes of the courtiers, and stared straight ahead.Li Ke's words just now, "Show off the country's prestige, save my people" deeply hurt him.The people of the Tang Dynasty were suffering at the hands of the Turks, and Li Chengqian, the prince, encouraged the courtiers to recommend the old and frail Feng Deyi for his own self-interest. He could not bear such despicable behavior.Then, when he heard Li Ke's righteous words to ask to go to Turkic as an envoy, Feng Deyi was irritated and moved by sacrificing his life for Li Ke.So, disregarding his humble status and his own insignificance, he recommended himself.

At this time, Li Shimin has woken up from the touch Li Ke gave him.Looking at Feng Deyi, who was trembling in the hall and wholeheartedly defending Li Ke, he felt that the image of such a veteran in his heart had changed again.He has talent, but he is good at trying to figure out his own mind and do things, which doesn't like him.But he has a clear-cut opinion, he supports Li Ke without shy away, and he can sacrifice himself for him, which moved me.Then, he took another look at Di Zhixun, who was neither humble nor overbearing, kneeling in the main hall, a small county magistrate, who had such courage, couldn't help being moved.

"Father, please allow your son to go to Turkic as an envoy," Li Ke asked again.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Han is young, and the peace talks have a lot to do with it. I also hope that the emperor's envoys will be sent to Turkic." Feng Deyi was at odds with Li Ke at this time.

Li Shimin glanced at Feng Deyi, then at Li Ke, pondered for a moment and finally made a decision, "Specially appointed Li Ke as the chief envoy, bestowed Di Zhixun as Chao Yilang and deputy envoy to assist Li Ke on his missions." Turks."

Because Di Zhixun's rank was too low, Li Shimin specially bestowed on him the honorary title of loose official.Chao Yilang is on the sixth rank.

"Thanks Father"

"The Minister's Order"

Li Ke and Di Zhixun replied, but Feng Deyi heard Li Shimin's will, stomped his feet fiercely, and then sighed without saying a word.At this moment, he suddenly looked much, much older.Let Li Shimin see the old minister's twilight years are also a little sad.

"I will give you 30 dans of grain and 30 pieces of brocade. I hope you can reach an agreement earlier than the Turks to redeem the people of Suzhou." Li Shimin is considered generous. [-] dans of grain and [-] pieces of brocade are a lot of money number.It can be seen that he still cares about his son very much, but at the same time, he also told him that this is his bottom line, you can only negotiate peace with Turks within this range, and the peace talks must be successful.

"My son will never disappoint my father's hope and the trust of the people of the Tang Dynasty. I will definitely let the people of Suzhou, who are in the hands of the Turks, return to the Tang Dynasty safely." said luxuriously.

"I will definitely assist His Highness the King of Han and live up to the expectations of the emperor and the people." Di Zhixun also promised.

"Okay, okay" Li Shimin said three words, but no one could understand what he meant by saying "okay twice".However, Li Chengqian's goal was achieved, and Li Tai's goal was achieved, but the two of them were not happy.

The main content of the court meeting is to discuss the candidates for the Turkic peace talks, and now the candidates have been decided.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and began to discuss how to resettle the people of the two states.However, Li Ke was already far away from his mind at this time, and he didn't care about this matter anymore. He had already begun to think about how to redeem the people with less money.
