Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 127
The 13th year of Zhenguan, the first day of February.

Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace, Tai Chi Hall, Grand Court Meeting.

This time, the grand court meeting is completely different from the bustling and lively scene before.

Whether it is the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty or foreign envoys, they are all quietly waiting for the arrival of the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty basically knew that Gaochang Kingdom was almost doomed.

The envoys of various countries knew nothing about what was going to happen next, they just prayed in their hearts that the flames of war would not affect them.

This also includes some larger forces such as Xue Yantuo, who has just become the Turkic leader, and Tuyuhun, who has been dreaming of replacing Tubo to unify the plateau.

Don't look at them provoking Datang back from time to time, but they all know in their hearts that when Datang really wants to take the initiative to send troops to them, they are not far from destroying the country.

While everyone was waiting, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty strode up to the throne that was exclusively for him.Sit down firmly.

After Li Shimin sat down firmly, a sharp voice that has remained unchanged for many years came out: "The Great Court Assembly has begun, and all the ministers and workers have an audience!"

Li Shimin scanned the people who were saluting with his tiger eyes, and said in his deep voice: "Everyone loves you, is there anyone who wants to play today? Play it if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do."

"Report to Your Majesty, I have a request to play." Prime Minister Fang Xuanling came out and said.

"What did Fang Aiqing play? At this grand court meeting, the issue of the vassal state will be resolved first. The rest of the issues will be raised later."

Li Shimin explained first.

In fact, this sentence is for the envoys of all countries to hear.

The emperor and the ministers had already discussed what issues to discuss at each court meeting.

Only the trivial matters mentioned by the petty officials, such as Chang'an County, Wannian County magistrates reporting their work;Such trivial matters are not negotiable.

"Your Majesty, what I said is the matter of Goguryeo and Baekje. The envoys who went to the two countries to convey the decree have now returned with letters of apology from the two kings."

Fang Xuanling said.

"Bring it up!"

Li Shimin replied.

A servant walked down the high platform quickly, and took the two letters of apology from Prime Minister Fang Xuanling.Turn around and quickly walk up to the high platform, and present it to Emperor Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't answer, but used his tiger eyes to scan back and forth among the envoys of various countries.

None of the envoys of the vassal state dared to meet Li Shimin's gaze, and both heads were deeply bowed.

After scanning around, Li Shimin said directly to the servant: "Read!"

"The great emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan. His minister Gao Jianwu, king of Goguryeo, was terrified."

"After receiving the order of Tian Khan, I should obey it. Immediately stop the attack on Silla. And apologize to Queen Sundeok of Silla."

"I would like to follow the will of Tian Khan. If Silla does not invade the border of Goguryeo, Goguryeo will not use troops against Silla again. It will develop peacefully and make progress together with neighboring countries Silla and Baekje."

"During the pilgrimage to all nations in the 13th year of Zhenguan, the minister Gao Jianwu did not go to the holy pilgrimage to see the Khan because of the melee with Baekje and Silla. The minister could not eat at night and could not sleep at night. I felt very terrified."

"When Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje enter the stage of peaceful coexistence, minister Gao Jianwu should go to the holy city in person to plead guilty to the great Khan."

"Sinful Minister, Great Tang Liaodong County King, Goguryeo King Gao Jianwu worships."

The servant finished reading the letter of apology from Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu in the sharp voice unique to their kind.He picked up Baekje King Fu Yuzhang's belief in pleading guilty again.

The content is generally the same as Gao Jianwu's letter of apology.As if from the hands of a person.

The whole article is full of gorgeous apologies, and the attitude is very low, very low.It seems that he gave Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, enough face, and acted in full accordance with Li Shimin's will.

But both apologies emphasized two points in particular.

First, it is not that Goguryeo and Baekje are jointly attacking Silla, but that the three countries are fighting.

On this point, there is no accurate news, and no one knows whether it is true or false.

Anyway, whether it is Silla, Goguryeo, or Baekje, what they say is one-sided.

Second, as long as Silla does not violate their borders, they will no longer use troops against Silla.

But whether Silla has violated their borders is not their own decision.It is too simple for the two countries to create a little conflict on the border.You can say whatever you want at that time.

This alone is enough to show that Goguryeo King Gao Jianwu and Baekje King Fuyuzhang violated the orders of the Tang Dynasty.

Maybe they really have the idea of ​​confronting Datang now.Or the so-called subordinate Datang is fine, but the order of your Emperor Datang will not work on our peninsula.

How could Li Shimin, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, fail to understand the meaning in the two confessions.

But it doesn't matter.What Li Shimin wants is for them to save face.As the Lord of the Tang Dynasty.He also understood very well that no matter whether it was Gao Jianwu or Fu Yuzhang, it was very rare to be able to hand him a letter of guilt in such a sensible way.

"Did you all hear me?"

"The king of Liaodong, the king of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, the king of Daifang, and the king of Baekje, Fu Yuzhang, have handed over their petitions to me."

"He said that he would do things strictly according to my will. He also said that after the three countries coexist peacefully, he will personally come to plead guilty to me."

"In view of Liaodong County King, Goguryeo King, Gao Jianwu, Daifang County King, and Baekje King Fu Yuzhang. The two have a good attitude of admitting their mistakes. I don't think they should be held accountable for this matter."

"Do you have any different opinions?"

After Li Shimin finally concluded, he asked the officials below.

"Your Majesty has a broad mind, unparalleled tolerance, and kindness that covers the world. The ministers and others have no objection."

The ministers replied in unison.

"Silla envoy Kim Yu-shin stepped forward to answer."

"The siege of Silla has been lifted, what objection do you have?"

Li Shimin directly named Jin Yuxin, the envoy of Silla.

"Sir, Jin Yuxin, the envoy of Silla, thanked His Majesty on behalf of Queen Seondeok of Silla. I, Silla, will be loyal to the Great Tang. Follow in the footsteps of the Great Tang Empire."

Kim Yushin came out of the row and bowed to the end, and replied.

"Pingshen, return to rank."

"Is there any news from Gaochang Kingdom in Honglu Temple?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the latest news received by Honglu Temple, Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochang Kingdom, is bold and reckless. He doesn't pay attention to my Tang Dynasty. envoy."

"If such actions are not severely punished, it will be difficult to demonstrate the majesty of our great Tang Dynasty."

Tang Jian, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple who is in charge of diplomatic affairs, Ju Guogong, came out and said.

After listening to Tang Jian's words, the envoys of all the vassal states couldn't help but groan in their hearts.Sure enough, some countries are going to be unlucky this time.

Don't think about it, this Gaochang country will soon disappear from the territory of the Western Regions.

Envoys from various countries, especially the small countries in the Western Regions, are praying that this war must not affect their own countries.

If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent a large army to conquer Gaochang this time, they would be able to destroy their country for any reason along the way.

Sure enough, as they thought, Tian Khan, who could determine the life and death of their country with a single word on the high throne, spoke.

"Since Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochang Kingdom, is so ungrateful that he not only blatantly violated my will, but also dared to detain my envoys from the Tang Dynasty. Then he should not be a vassal state."

"The Ministry of War obeys orders. Let the governor of the Anbei Protectorate Mansion, the governor, Hou Jun, assemble and prepare the army. After the food and grass are in place, I will take Gaochang Kingdom in one fell swoop."

Li Shimin ordered.

"The command of the Ministry of War."

Li Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, took the lead and said.

This has been discussed long ago.Therefore, no one would refute anything in front of the envoys of the vassal states.

This scene was originally made for the envoys of the various vassal states.

Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochang, in terms of his current situation, Li Shimin or to be more precise, Li Cha, let him die in the third watch, and he will definitely not survive the fifth watch.

As for Hou Junji's army, it was just to cover up the existence of the Gale Special Forces.

When Hou Junji's army arrives, maybe it's just to accept a Gaochang city that surrendered with its gates open.

In fact, everyone misunderstood Qu Wentai, he was a very bully and timid person.

Relying on being a Han Chinese, Li Shimin treated him favorably, in order to show the difference between his Gaochang country in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, he did not go to the Tang Dynasty for several pilgrimages from all countries.

This time the emperor's order came, and he mistakenly believed that he had angered the emperor, and Li Shimin wanted to trick him into Chang'an City to behead him.

Where did he dare to go, he made the worst decision in panic, detained the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and rejected Li Shimin's request.Directly sent his own Gaochang country to a dead end.

"Whether it's the war between Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, or the affairs of Gochang, this is the end. There is no need to discuss any more."

In the end, the emperor Li Shimin directly closed the coffin and made a conclusion.

"The envoys from all over the world, except the envoys stationed in the Tang Dynasty, are ordered to leave Chang'an City before tomorrow. Go back and tell your lord, who dares to help Qu Wentai, a rebel in Gaochang. I am a rebel like him, I Let's cut it together."

"Now, you all retreat."

Li Shimin ordered the envoys of various countries to leave.The rest of the time is the real Great Court Meeting belonging to Datang.

Li Shimin and the officials of the Tang Dynasty are discussing political affairs at the Great Court Meeting in the Taiji Hall.

Li Cha led a special operations team in the briquette stove shop he occupied and was busy installing briquette stoves for the countries that ordered before.

"Five thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand. Li Cha and the others carefully counted the numbers. Now that they have received their cattle, sheep and war horses, they must prepare all their goods."

Carts of briquette stoves were counted and taken away by envoys from various countries.

Today's envoys from all over the world are a little strange. There is no sound in the Tai Chi Hall, and even more so in Li Cha's briquette stove shop.

One by one is clearly familiar, but it's as if they have never met.

Everyone knows the purpose of buying this briquette stove.Who has time to gossip.

The most important thing is to ship these things to your own country as soon as possible.

It would be even better if there is a way to snatch these things from others into your own country.

This idea is not only shared by one or two people, but also by almost all the envoys from various countries who came to receive the briquette stove belonging to their country.

No one thought of a great melee among countries caused by a briquette stove.

And at this time, what is going on in that incomparably mysterious Ghost Valley?
