As the minister of Honglu Temple, Tang Jian was very distressed during this period. They had been negotiating for half a month, but Tuyuhun refused to let go.
They would rather cede land to the Tang Dynasty than use war horses to compensate.
But what His Majesty needs are plateau war horses, not the barren land. In His Majesty's words, sooner or later the land belongs to the Tang Dynasty, but the war horses do not.
Negotiations could not be concluded during this period, and he was under great pressure.
Today we finally got some good news. Tubo soldiers were pressing down on the border, and Tuyuhun dared to sneak attack Liangzhou City in the Tang Dynasty. Now they were doomed.
If they don't give them 60,000 war horses, the Tang Dynasty will leave them alone. Let's see if they can survive.
Tang Jian was happy when he was stopped by Fang Xuanling behind him.
"Jugong, please wait, I have something to say."
Tang Jian turned around, walked towards Fang Xuanling, cupped his hands and said, "I have met Lord Pushe, I wonder if Lord Pushe has any advice."
But facing Li Jing, who was next to Fang Xuanling, he snorted coldly, failing to even follow the most basic etiquette.
Li Jing was very embarrassed, his expression was very unnatural, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Mr.
After Li Jing left, Tang Jian still had a cold face and said coldly: "What's so arrogant about you? Isn't it just that you exchanged your daughter for the status of a relative of the emperor?"
"You are really unworthy of being a parent, unworthy of being a minister, a complete hypocrite, a despicable villain, and a villain who succeeds..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Fang Xuanling couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Tang Jian with a cough to continue scolding Li Jing.
The relationship between Tang Jian and Li Jing was already incompatible. They did not start a fight during this meeting, which was a sign of great respect to Fang Xuanling.
The bad relationship between the two can only be traced back to the third year of Zhenguan.
At the beginning, Tang Jian was the Minister of Honglu Temple and was sent by His Majesty to the Eastern Turks for negotiations. Tang Jian got this great and glorious mission. With an envoy of 300 people, after a month of long journey, he finally arrived at Jieli Khan. tent.
But while the two sides were negotiating, Li Jing came over with three thousand cavalry and went directly into the hinterland of the Turks.
This almost made Tang Jian collapse. I was negotiating, and you launched a sneak attack without saying a word or giving any notice.
You, Li Jing, killed you happily, but what about the envoy brought by Tang Jian?
Haven't you been beaten to death by the Turks?
Fortunately, Tang Jian also had two brushes, so he immediately picked up the guy and started having sex with the Turks who were negotiating.
In this battle, only a dozen of the three hundred envoys he brought were left. Tang Jian escaped by hiding among the dead.
Tang Jian knew that he had been tricked by Li Jing, but in order for Datang to get rid of Jieli Khan, he had been tricked. This time he deceived Jieli Khan and allowed Li Jing to successfully attack. He also Someone with great merit.
But when he heard what Li Jing said before cheating on him, Tang Jian couldn't bear it anymore.
After greeting all the eighteen generations of Li Jing's family, he personally sought out Li Jing to question him, and the two almost came to blows.
It turned out that Li Jing said to the other generals before the sneak attack: "This military opportunity cannot be missed at the right time. That's why Han Xin defeated Qi."
"What a pity for people like Tang Jian and others."
The general meaning is that in order to win, we can only sacrifice the insignificant Tang Jian. Anyway, we should not treat him as a human being.
Not only was he tricked by Li Jing, but he was also said to be an insignificant person by Li Jing. How could he be insignificant? After all, he was also the Minister of Rites at the beginning and was negotiating on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. Without him to fool Jieli Khan, you, Li Jing, would have made a sneak attack. success?
After returning from this battle with a great victory, Li Jing was promoted to the third rank and worshiped as the Right Servant Shooter. He was given numerous rewards, but Tang Jian did not receive any credit for his achievements.
I pretended to be angry and went home.
In fact, in everyone's opinion, the idea of cheating Tang Jian was probably not Li Jing's idea, but Li Shimin's hint to Li Jing.
But even if Tang Jian knew this, he did not dare to blame Li Shimin and could only vent all his complaints on Li Jing.
Historically, the relationship between the two has always been very tense. Even until their death, the two never interacted with each other.
"Mr. Ju, state affairs are the most important thing. Please put your personal grudges aside for now."
Tang Jian wanted to spit to show that he was angry.
But Fang Xuanling still had to give him face. After all, this old guy was now the Zuopushe in charge of hundreds of officials, equivalent to the prime minister.
"This negotiation must be tough. The DPRK is talking about 60,000 war horses, but plateau war horses are scarce. The Tang Dynasty lacks nothing but plateau war horses. If you can get more plateau war horses this time , I dare to guarantee your promotion..."
Tang Jian's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Pu She, I will remember it."
"I will inform the Tuyuhun mission today and continue the negotiations tomorrow..."
Fang Xuanling originally gave Tang Jian advice. He wanted Tang Jian to invite Li Ke, the king of Shu, and let the king of Shu, the living king of hell, participate in the negotiations. There might be unexpected results. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
But now looking at the incompatible relationship between Tang Jian and Li Jing, I might as well forget it!
After all, the King of Shu is now Li Jing's son-in-law, so he might mess things up.
"Lord Pushe, do you have anything else to say?"
"As long as it can increase the bargaining chips and win enough plateau war horses for the country, I will definitely work hard to do it."
"How about you go and invite the King of Shu? After all, where the King of Shu's reputation lies, the negotiation effect may be better."
Tang Jian seemed to have been stabbed in the lungs, and he coughed violently. Finally, he cupped his hands and said, "I won't bother the King of Shu. This is my job, and I can do it well."
"Fine!"
Tang Jian's original happy mood was dampened by the appearance of Fang Xuanling and Li Jing.
When he arrived at Honglu Temple, he issued a death order to the officials below.
In this negotiation, I have the advantage. Thirty thousand war horses are no longer enough to satisfy the Tang Dynasty. This time, I will pay tribute to 100,000 plateau war horses from Tuyuhun.
The minimum limit is 80,000 horses, and even one less horse will not work. At the same time, tell the subordinates what happened in the court today.
He also asked his subordinates to make full preparations and notify the Tuyuhun mission in the afternoon to start negotiations tomorrow morning.
He personally promised his subordinates that the matter was done. Tang Jian dared to use his head as a guarantee for promotion and fortune.
After giving instructions to his subordinates, Tang Jian snorted in his heart. Without Li Jing's son-in-law, wouldn't Tang Jian be able to handle this matter?
Li Ke lay down his gun innocently.
But at this moment, Li Ke was about to take Li Shuwan into the bridal chamber, and was being forced by his mother Yang Ruyi to learn the various agendas and etiquette of the wedding.
"Mother, this is unnecessary!"
Li Ke was so embarrassed that his mother actually sent a familiar palace maid to teach him step by step how to enjoy the wedding night.
"This is a process, you must learn it, and there will be people teaching it at Wan'er's side!" Yang Ruyi said with a straight face.
Li Ke was helpless, but he demanded that someone be replaced. Damn it, that palace maid was already in her forties, which made her have no interest in learning at all!
Finally, at Li Ke's request, he finally changed to a palace maid who could still read, and read comic books with Li Ke.
As a result, Li Ke was very proficient, but the palace maid learned a lot of knowledge.
"Young Master, the snake is back."
Li Ke quickly said: "Close the book and go clean the table!"
It would be so embarrassing if Si Snake saw it.
It's just that this snake came at the right time. If it had not come earlier, it would have come later, but it just happened to come at this time.
"Young Master, my subordinate is back."
Li Ke sat in front of the desk solemnly, reading a book of "Spring and Autumn", but there was a lot in this Spring and Autumn.
