Great Tang Broom Star

  Chapter 452 I'm going to find the king

   As soon as Jia Pingan arrived outside the duty room, he heard movement inside.

   "Do you still dare to talk nonsense?"

  Why does this voice sound a little out of breath?

"Ah Weng, big butts are really good. I asked Xu Jingzong earlier, and he said that looking at beauties every day makes him energetic, and thinking about beauties every day makes him not feel old... Ah Weng, you see that you always look old. If you miss others, why not miss beauty."

   Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

   There was a violent beating.

   Li Jingye is really a tough kid, he broke his heart for his grandfather's body.

   "British public."

   Jia Pingan said softly.

  The door opened, and Li Jingye came out as if nothing had happened, "Brother, please come in."

   Li Ji looked very bad, his right hand was shaking slightly, which shows that he was seriously injured by the shock force.

   Jia Ping'an came up with a thought: Is this how Li Jingye's ability to resist attacks was developed?

  After sitting down, Jia Pingan asked about Nanzhao.

   "Even if there is no copper coin, Datang can make it with cloth, but it is close to Tubo. If Datang can gather the troops of Liuzhao, then it can contain Tubo from another direction."

  It turned out that Li Ji was not looking at any copper mines, but the chrysanthemums in Tubo.

   Jia Ping'an couldn't help but feel ashamed!

   "Then why did the court oppose it?"

   Li Ji glanced at him, "Don't you know?"

   Jia Pingan smiled and said, "It's too far away, so it's hard to control."

  Li Ji nodded, "But if this is accomplished, there will be a steady stream of attacks on Tibet in the next few decades."

   This is a long-term strategy, and Lao Li is really extraordinary.

   "Is the copper mine probably fake?"

   Li Jingye said something suddenly.

   Li Ji looked at him slowly, his eyes full of relief.

  My son, you have become smarter.

   "What do you think?"

  Like every father and grandfather, Li Ji wished he could cut Li Jingye's brain open to see if his brain circuits were normal from now on.

  Li Jingye said confidently: "If there are copper mines, those people in Nanzhao are not allowed to open mines and earn money by themselves?"

  Is that okay too?

  This logical train of thought is flawless.

   Li Ji nodded frequently, very pleased.

  But Master Jia knew that Li Jingye was wrong.

  The situation on the Nanzhao side is complicated. According to the historical records of later generations, the other five Zhaozhao flirt with Tubo, only Nanzhao is closer to the Tang Dynasty. The two sides use these two forces to fight in the air.

  There are many copper mines in Yunnan, so it should be true that the Nanzhao envoy said that they found copper mines.

   But their motives for revealing the matter are not pure.

  Lao Li’s strategic idea of ​​targeting Tubo was right, and the prime ministers were right that the place was a quagmire.

   Jia Pingan and Li Jingye went out.

   "Brother, A Weng looked a little gloomy earlier."

  Although Li Jingye is heartless, he has a lot of affection for his grandfather.

  Old Li is actually gloomy, that is because he was angered by Chu Suiliang and others today when they said 'the old British man is too old to be reused'.

  The only way to resolve this matter is from the messenger.

   "I'm going to find the king, you go by yourself."

   "What do you know about the king?"

   "Ugh! Just a person."

  Jia Ping'an went to the residence of Honglu Temple.

   "Is Zhu Shaoqing here?"

  A small official said: "Zhu Shaoqing is talking with the Nanzhao envoy."

good chance!

   Jia Ping'an's eyes turned, and when he saw someone guarding a room, he knew that the place of conversation was there.

   "Just say something, please see Zhu Shaoqing."

  The little official said indifferently: "I'm sorry, Uncle Wuyang, it's important to talk to the envoy. Whoever comes, Zhu Shaoqing won't be able to separate himself."

   Jia Ping'an raised his voice, "Zhu Shaoqing."

  Emissary or not, when he and Zhu Tao met the foreign envoys, they were very casual.

  The little official changed color, "Uncle Wuyang, please go ahead!"

   This is an order to evict guests. If you don’t leave, you will be expelled.

  The door opened, and the little official panicked, "Zhu Shaoqing, I failed to stop Uncle Wuyang."

   "You don't have to say, I know."

  Knowing King came out, and said with a smile, "Why did Uncle Wu Yang teach me?"

  Diplomacy is a very professional profession, and it is difficult for outsiders to guess the feeling of sympathy between knowledgeable people.

  Jia Pingan took a look inside and said in a low voice: "I heard that there was a dispute between the court and the Chinese government over the Nanzhao Copper Mine, so I just know something..."

  You want to fart!

   Several officials who came out together took a look at Jia Pingan, thinking that this man was really whimsical.

   "What is it?"

   "The matter of the copper mine."

  Zhu Tao nodded, "So please tell Uncle Wuyang."

   Several officials looked surprised, "Zhu Shaoqing, this is about my Honglu Temple."

  The attitude of these people to protect the interests of the department is impeccable, but Wang Wang is a diplomatic fanatic, and he likes to study these things with experts.

   "You don't have to tell me, I know."

  Knowing Wang arbitrarily interrupted the complaints of the officials under his command, and invited Jia Pingan in.

  In it sat a young man wearing Tang costumes.

   "This is Luo Shengyan, the son of Xi Nuluo, the leader of Nanzhao."

  Luo Shengyan stood up and cupped his hands.

   "This is Wuyang Bo Jiaping."

   Jia Pingan cupped his hands.

  Sit down immediately.

   Last time, Jia Ping'an and Zhu Tao teamed up to trick the people of Silla and Wa, which can be called a perfect cooperation.

  So Zhu Tao was looking forward to this time, he winked and signaled Jia Pingan to come on.

  Luo Shengyan looked very calm, which shows that he is deeply loved by Xi Nuluo.

  The best way to deal with this kind of people...

   "The Tang Dynasty heard that the other five imperial edicts flirted with the Tubo people, and that they violated Nanxun a lot. Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with this."

  These words were concise and powerful, which instantly lifted Luo Shengyan's spirits.

  Zhu Tao looked at the officials under his command, implying that they should learn more.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Tang, for your care." Luo Shengyan couldn't help feeling more fond of Jia Pingan, "The other five imperial edicts often harassed Nanzhao, but Nanzhao often chose to keep things quiet for the sake of the overall situation. After a long time, those people actually felt that You can be deceived by Nanzhao, and dare to raise troops to attack."

   Show him concern and make him feel loved!

  Jia Ping'an's eyes were more sympathetic, "It's a pity that the Tang Dynasty is far away from Nanzhao, otherwise, if His Majesty gives an order, the army will come in the morning and evening, and it will be easy to destroy the imperial food."

   These words seemed sympathetic, but they cut off the possibility of Datang sending troops to help from the beginning.

   This technique can be called skillful.

   Does this guy really think we want reinforcements? Sure enough, a fool. Luo Shengyan looked regretful, "If this is the case, it is really regrettable. If Datang can send troops... hey!"

Huh!

its not right!

  Jia Ping'an could tell from his appearance that there might be something strange about this matter.

  If he came here to ask for reinforcements, it means that the situation in Nanzhao is precarious. But he looks regretful, but not anxious...

   Let me test it out.

  Jia Ping'an suddenly said: "I just remembered that Datang also has a lot of troops in the southwest, if..."

  As he spoke, he pretended to be casually looking at the other side.

  Luo Shengyan's eyelids twitched, and his lips were tightly pursed.

   This is the meaning of tension.

  What is he nervous about?

   Nervous Datang sent troops to Nanzhao.

  Boy, your acting skills are not bad!

   Jia Pingan laughed and said, "If Nanzhao needs it, the Tang Dynasty can send troops."

  Are you not afraid of being punished for saying this?

  The officials all looked at Zhu Tao.

   It is not up to Honglu Temple to decide whether to send troops, let alone Jia Pingan's interference.

  At this moment, he said something about sending troops, and turned back to the court to oppose it. It was just his own bad luck, and I, He Gu, Honglu Temple, was also punished.

  Zhu Tao is looking at Luo Shengyan.

  He found that Luo Shengyan's eyes were a little anxious.

   This person is actually impatient?

   "Since the Tang Dynasty has not many troops in the southwest, Nanzhao can hold on by himself."

  He actually refused?

  The hearts of those officials tensed up, followed by anger.

  Good boy, asking for reinforcements is false, is this asking for resources?

  Xiao Jia is indeed a diplomatic talent. If he can follow me for a few years, he will definitely become a rising star in Honglu Temple.

  Zhu Tao couldn't help nodding his head slightly.

  Jia Pingan persisted for a while, and Luo Shengyan broke into a sweat.

   "Where is the copper mine?"

  Jia Pingan suddenly had a big turning point.

  Luo Shengyan said subconsciously: "It's in Nanzhao."

good!

   Implemented one thing.

   "Can Tubo take action?"

  How did I just say it?

  Luo Shengyan was a little annoyed, "Tubo often bewitches the other five imperial edicts to attack Nanzhao."

  Zhu Tao raised his mouth slightly, thinking that this is the most valuable news!

  Tibetan bewitched the other five imperial edicts, indicating that they did not have the ability to attack from the southwest, so they could only let the five edicts contain Nanzhao and keep their own chrysanthemums.

   Jia Ping'an smiled and said: "Your envoy is coming from afar, so you can walk around Tiantai Mountain."

  Luo Shengyan felt a little confused at the moment, got up and said: "Uncle Wuyang seems to be hostile to Nanzhao."

   This is impotent rage after loss!

  Jia Ping'an said indifferently: "Jia is guarding the interests of Datang. If Nanzhao is a friend of Datang, then he will naturally feel the kindness of Datang."

  Luo Shengyan once again lost his sense of proportion, "Nanzhao blocked the Tubo people for the Tang Dynasty, just wanted some weapons, money and food, why not give them?"

  The little prince lost his temper?

  Zhu Tao was secretly delighted, thinking that I would just wait for you to lose your temper before I can talk.

  He put on a straight face, "I don't know what is going on in Nanzhao, even if we want to pay for weapons and food, we have to negotiate with the court. If such an expensive envoy goes to rest, I will naturally report today's words to the court."

  Luo Shengyan cupped his hands, "I was exhausted all the way and lost my sense of proportion."

  Luo Shengyan had been very calm before, even reserved, but now he bowed his head and admitted his mistake...

  All eyes turned to Jia Pingan.

   It was his words that made Luo Shengyan lose ground!

  Luo Shengyan was taken to rest, Zhu Tao said with a smile: "Now, do you know why I value Uncle Wu Yang so much?"

An official stood up, "Uncle Wuyang's words seemed casual, but after thinking about it carefully, he first said His Majesty's dissatisfaction with the other five imperial edicts. Luo Shengyan must have felt caring and relaxed after hearing this. Then he said the Great Tang The reason why it is inconvenient to send troops...Uncle Wu Yang was observing Luo Shengyan at that time, right?"

   Jia Pingan nodded.

  The official smiled and said: "Sure enough, I was watching from the sidelines and found that Uncle Wuyang was observing Luo Shengyan's expression, so I also took a closer look and found that the corners of Luo Shengyan's mouth were relaxed..."

  Diplomacy is an extremely meticulous and subtle industry. A facial expression or a mantra can be the object of research.

"This shows that Nanzhao didn't want Tang to interfere with the affairs of Liuzhao at all!" Later, Nanzhao relied on Datang's support, and finally unified the Six Zhaozhao during Xuanzong's time, and became Nanzhao Kingdom. Enemy. This is also a typical case of diplomatic failure!

   "This shows one thing." Jia Pingan said firmly: "In the eyes of Nanzhao, first use the Tang Dynasty to stabilize the situation, and when the time is right, send troops to unify the six imperial edicts."

  This judgment made everyone fall into deep thought.

"So Uncle Wuyang once again mentioned the matter of sending troops, and confirmed that Nanzhao's request for help was just an excuse." The official praised: "Luo Shengyan lost his mind, and when Uncle Wuyang asked about the copper mine, he subconsciously Say it. In this way, Nanzhao's judgment of using copper mines to lure Datang to send troops can be put to rest!"

Zhu Tao said comfortably: "Originally the judgment of Chaozhong and Hongyu Temple was that Nanzhao wanted to use the news of the copper mine to lure the Tang Dynasty to send troops, but now it seems that it is not the case. Then his purpose is clear at a glance, and it is based on this Want weapons, money and food."

  Thanks to Jia Pingan!

  Jia Ping'an got up to say goodbye, and everyone changed their previous negligence and got up to see them off.

   Immediately Zhu Tao entered the palace.

   "Didn't you induce Datang to send troops?"

  This judgment made Li Zhi sneer, "It seems that Nanzhao's mind is not pure, and he just wants to take advantage of Datang with his empty teeth."

   "Zhu Qing has worked hard." Li Zhi is still very satisfied with Zhu Tao, and even more satisfied after this incident.

   "Your Majesty, Uncle Wu Yang asked about this matter, and I dare not take credit for it."

  Your Majesty, bring Uncle Wuyang to Honglu Temple, I will take him personally!

  Zhu Tao looked at Li Zhi eagerly.

   It turned out to be him?

  Li Zhi waved his hand when he thought of Jia Pingan's cheating of the Silla envoy.

  Zhu Tao pouted his neck and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle Wuyang is a talent for diplomacy, so he should come to Honglu Temple."

  Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, "Of course I will consider this matter. Besides, today's matter is kept secret for the time being, and cannot be disclosed."

   No matter how long-winded it is, it is persecuting the emperor.

  Knowing that the king regretted his resignation, but he didn't know why the emperor blocked the news.

Li Zhi watched him go out, and sighed: "Jia Ping'an planned to alienate the Wa country from Silla, and I thought it was a means. But when he went to Mobei last time, he was able to appease the Tong Luo tribe. This seems to be a means. But it is inseparable from the insight into the minds of those tribes. Afterwards, he persuaded the Turkic tribes to join their families, which is a diplomatic means... It seems that I underestimated him in the past."

  Wang Zhongliang said with a flattering smile: "No matter how talented you are, they are just your majesty's servants, and you can let your majesty send you around."

   Li Zhi glanced at him, "What do you know?"

  At first, he thought that Jia Ping'an was a knife, a knife that he could use and destroy.

   But now it seems that this young man is not only a knife, but also has the ability to work for an official.

  The treatment of swordsmen and courtiers is naturally different.

  It seems that I have to re-examine this young man.

   But he has his own means!

   "I remember that Wu Mei is dealing with Jia Ping'an's marriage. I will send out some jade articles for her to reward properly."

  Wang Zhongliang went.

  Li Zhi walked out of the palace, squinting slightly at the sky.

   "Nanzhao... a small place, dare to play tricks with me? Who gave them the courage!"

  The court meeting on the second day.

  Chu Suiliang looked at Li Ji and smiled slightly, "Did you think clearly about it yesterday?"

  Yesterday Li Ji disagreed with them on the matter of Nanzhao. Chu Suiliang immediately led those people to launch a siege.

   This is killing with a soft knife.

  Li Ji is old and confused, and often comes up with bad ideas, which harm the country and the people...

  If such a public opinion situation is really to be formed, how can Lao Li have the face to be an official?

  Li Ji glanced at him, got up and said: "Your Majesty, I went back yesterday and thought about it for a long time, thinking that the matter of Nanzhao should not be underestimated."

That's it?

  The corners of Chu Suiliang's mouth curled up slightly.

   "I thought so too!"

Huh!

  Why did the emperor agree with him?

  Chu Suiliang was puzzled.

   "I think the copper mine in Nanzhao is real."

  Chu Suiliang immediately retorted: "But there are many forces in Nanzhao, and if you go to mine, it will cause accidents. When the southwest is corrupt, will you, the British, go to appease it?"

   "Can Prime Minister Chu know what Nanzhao is thinking?"

   Li Ji asked with a smile.

   "It's nothing more than trying to use the copper mine to lure Datang to send troops."

   This is the judgment of the prime ministers.

  Xiao Jia sent news yesterday... Li Ji said coldly: "When the Tang Dynasty sent troops, how could Nanzhao be safe? Don't they worry that the Tang Dynasty will destroy Nanzhao?"

  Old people can do this, and even Changsun Wuji has seriously considered this option.

   This is a vibrant Tang Dynasty. No matter what disputes there are among the courtiers, when it comes to external issues, the topic of destroying the country is the most popular issue.

   "Then why did they ask for help?" Chu Suiliang sneered.

   "The Tang Dynasty's troops in the southwest are insufficient!" Li Ji said: "So the envoys know that they will be rejected if they ask for help, but they can immediately retreat and ask for weapons, money and food."

  Li Zhi said quietly: "The Tang Dynasty rejected the request to send troops, so it would be unreasonable to refuse these again. This method is not bad."

this…

  Chu Suiliang was taken aback, "Is there any verification for this matter?"

   "Let Zhu Tao come."

  Shaoqing Zhu Tao came, and Chu Suiliang felt cold when he said something.

  The old man criticized Li Ji with this yesterday, now...

  Li Ji is a gentle gentleman, if you think about it, it's just sarcasm, right?

  Chu Suiliang felt relieved.

  Li Ji got up, and slowly looked sideways at him, "It's not uncommon for colleagues in the court to have different political views, just explain it, and make it clear. But Chu Xiang often uses the excuse that his colleagues are old, and he wants to squeeze this old man out of the political affairs hall."

   This is tearing the face apart.

   Li Ji's words directly exposed Chu Suiliang's thoughts.

   It is well known that the small circle wants to engage in Li Ji. But let’s do it, everyone is fighting in secret, who will say it?

  Li Ji!

  His eyes were sharp, staring at Chu Suiliang like a sharp sword, "Dare to ask Mr. Chu, yesterday you said that the old man is old, so what about you today?"

  You said that I, Li Ji, was old and stupid, but today I verified that the old man's judgment was correct, so who are you who is wrong?

   "Your Majesty, I think that Prime Minister Chu is old and sick, so he should go home to recuperate."

  Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed sharply, and he glanced at Li Ji.

  Li Ji sneered, but refused to budge.

  Why, you are allowed to wait until you yell at the old man, so the old man can't fight back?

   "Your Majesty, the old minister is in good health." Chu Suiliang got up, and in order to prove that he was in good health, he raised his hand and turned around in a circle.

   "Your Majesty, Chu Xiang came here on horseback from Chang'an, and he is in good spirits, which shows that he is in good health."

   "Yesterday, I made a bet with Chu Xiang that I would find a place to play horses in a few days."

  In an instant, voices supporting Chu Suiliang became the mainstream.

  Li Ji cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, I think you should send envoys to Nanzhao to investigate carefully."

   Isn't everyone stabbing each other? Why did you turn around, Li Ji?

  Li Zhi nodded, "The British prince is very serious, and I will leave this matter to you to consider."

  When you were still playing in the small circle, I, Li Ji, was thinking about state affairs.

   This turn is so beautiful.

  Chu Suiliang looked disappointed, knowing that he was ashamed this time.

   "The minister is lying." Chu Suiliang pleaded guilty.

   Waiting for the prime ministers to go out later, Shen Qiu came out quietly.

   "Yesterday you told the British Duke about this, how did he react?"

  Shen Qiu said: "The British prince is a little happy."

  Li Zhi nodded, and said quietly after a long time: "He is a smart man."
