The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 659 Li Er's Suspicion

Chapter 659 Li Er's Suspicion

But the tributes from the Western Turkic envoys were too much, and Li Er was really jealous.

With these tributes, the emptiness of the treasury will be resolved.

Even if what Bai Jingyi said was true, Datang would definitely be counterattacked by the Western Turks in the future.

But the national power of the Tang Dynasty is still there. If you want to wipe out the power of the Western Turks by then.

But also in an instant.

Presumably the Western Turks did not dare to march against Datang.

After all, the 30 Beiliang Army on the border is enough to flatten the Turkic grassland.

At this time, Changsun Wuji said directly to Li Ergong: "I report to my lord! My lord, please think twice. Now, the envoys of the Western Turks have come to my Tang Dynasty to ask for their sins. My Tang Dynasty can't do too many unreasonable things." What’s more, my Great Tang should be cultivating health and rest now, if we recover the Western Turks, then our Great Tang will also solve a big enemy, and our Great Tang will naturally be able to recover!”

The ministers behind him also said one by one: "My lord! If my Great Tang uses these tributes from the Western Turks to restore national power, then naturally all the impacts of the previous wars will be reduced, and a big enemy will be restored. Turkic, Tang Dynasty should be like this at this moment, Your Majesty!"

"My Majesty, if my Great Tang directly rejects the plea of ​​the Western Turks, it is very likely that the Turks will turn their heads and attack my Great Tang, and then there will be another war!"

Bai Jingyi said coldly to these ministers: "Ministers, even if there is going to be a war, our Beiliang army will go to the border. What's more, these Western Turkic plots have been defeated without attack. There are many refugees in Western Turkic now. The national strength is weak, it is the time for our Tang Dynasty to send troops to attack!"

"If the Holy Majesty listened to your ministers and took the food and grass of the people of our Tang Dynasty to help these Turks, wouldn't this restore energy to the Turks for no reason?"

"You people are simply despicable!"

As soon as these words came out, those ministers completely felt the chill on their necks.

Bai Jingyi's body was full of murderous intent, staring straight at those ministers.

The ministers who spoke up were silent.

Cheng Yaojin who was behind him also hurriedly said: "Apologize to Your Majesty! If my Tang Dynasty does not seize this opportunity to destroy the Turks, but to help the Turks regain their energy, this will undoubtedly be an act of depleting the national power of the Tang Dynasty!"

"These Turks have always been eyeing my Great Tang. How could they be so willing to become my Tang's vassal state?"

Yu Chigong also hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "My lord, if I, the Tang Dynasty, helped these Turks, I would naturally use the rations of my people in the Tang Dynasty to create enemies for the Tang Dynasty. Tang people bring disaster!"

The ministers of the aristocratic family also came to remonstrate: "My lord, my Tang Dynasty has just experienced war, Liangzhou has not yet returned to its previous prosperity, and there is no extra energy to take care of the Turks, let alone these white-eyed wolves. They will attack my Tang Dynasty in groups, isn't this the strength of Turkic beasts?"

"If my Great Tang raises these Turkic refugees, they are destined not to be grateful to my Great Tang, and will even become more and more jealous of my Great Tang's resources!"

"When they counterattack, how much soldiers, money, food and grass will I have to spend in the Tang Dynasty! Holy Master Mingjian!"

The ministers below spoke one after another, while Li Er's expression froze completely.

Inside, he was very angry.

I didn't expect these confidant ministers of mine to help the King of Beiliang in this way.

In this court, it seems that the king of Beiliang is the sage, and he is just a king of the opposite sex.

Could it be that I was really held hostage by the King of Beiliang?

Thinking of this, Li Er even looked annoyed in the eyes of these ministers.

Obviously, it was Zhen who gave them their salaries, but these confidant ministers actually spoke to the King of Beiliang.

What's more, in front of the envoys of these small countries, they actually contradicted me like this.

If we wait for the envoys from these small countries to return to our country, wouldn't it mean that I am quite incompetent?
Seeing these chattering ministers, Li Er gradually calmed down.

After thinking about it secretly, Li Er felt that what the ministers who spoke for Bai Jingyi were quite reasonable.

Although these princes and ministers are speaking from the standpoint of helping Bai Jingyi.

But what they say does make sense.

These Turkic envoys did not hesitate to seize property from their own people and pay tribute to Datang.

It is enough to show that these Turkic beasts are inhumane.

He can treat his own people like this, let alone treat Datang.

Their surrender and confidance must be false, and it is true to use surrender to Datang to obtain Datang's food supplies and restore energy.

I'm afraid that after the energy recovery of the Western Turkic beast is completed, it will definitely attack the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Datang still wanted to eliminate the Turks, and it would definitely take a lot of energy.

Then it brought an indiscriminate disaster to the people of Datang.

After all, the food, grass, and money needed for war all come from the mouths of the people.

If Datang fattened up the Turks before making a move, wouldn't this be a loss-making business?
Now Turkic forces are weak, and there are even civil strife in East and West Turks.

If Datang were to take action against the Turks now, it would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Presumably these princes and ministers are also thinking about me and Datang, so they contradict me like this.

Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help being relieved again.

If the King of Beiliang and these ministers hadn't stood up to stop him, I'm afraid I would have been fooled by these Western Turkic envoys today.

When the Turkic envoys below saw Li Er's expression, they suddenly felt that something was wrong.

King Tang actually had a relieved expression. Could it be that King Tang was persuaded by the King of Beiliang and the ministers?

If King Tang and King Beiliang agreed, then today's plan would definitely come to nothing.

Thinking of this, the Western Turkic envoy quickly looked back at the Western Turkic prince.

Seeing that Shizi was staring at him very happily, all kinds of feelings suddenly became mixed in his heart.

Also being a Turk, the East Turk can sit in the back, while the forces of the West Turk can only kneel here.

Could it be that King Tang and King Beiliang are really planning to support Eastern Turks?

If this is the case, then the Eastern Turks have received the military support of the Tang Dynasty, so wouldn't the Western Turks be about to perish?

The Western Turkic envoy was very panicked, when he glanced at Bai Jingyi, he felt Bai Jingyi's murderous intent staring at him.

"It's over, I'm afraid the plan won't be implemented today, even I will die like this!" the envoy of the Western Turks thought desperately.

The King of Beiliang was not a good person in the first place, if he insisted on killing himself, then even King Tang would not be able to protect him.

At the same time, the envoys of the Western Turks were restless, like ants on a hot pot, under the comments of the ministers and the murderous threat of the King of Beiliang.
