The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 644 Li Er's Worries

Chapter 644 Li Er's Worries

In the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Erzheng got angry because of the envoy's affairs.

Now that these envoys came to the Tang Dynasty to pay homage, it was just to show the strength of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er was naturally very happy.

But these envoys were crippled one by one by Bai Jingyi, fearing that these envoys would go back to the country and make a rash, and these countries would start a war against the Tang Dynasty.

Datang has just quelled the Turkic war, so it should be the time to cultivate health and rest.

Although it is said that the power of these small border countries is not enough, but there are too many lice and itchy, if the Tang Dynasty is caught in war all the year round, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment?
It was precisely because of this that what Bai Jingyi did made Li Er very worried.

After all, that Zhuzi could kill even the Turkic Khan directly, so he didn't give me any face.

Thinking of this, Li Er said to the eunuch outside the hall: "Order, tell Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling!"

"Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly ran out to deliver the order.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling received Li Er's order and hurried to Ganlu Hall.

The two said together, "Report to the Holy Majesty, I heard that the Holy Majesty has been summoned for political affairs!"

Li Er rubbed his temples and said: "You two love ministers, you are in a hurry not because of other things, but because of those envoys!"

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling are good people, and they directly understood why Li Er was troubled.

Li Er went on to say: "Those envoys acted too arrogantly, and their arms were cut off by the King of Beiliang. I am worried that these envoys are afraid of the power of the King of Beiliang and flee back to the country. If this is the case, how will the small countries on the border treat us?" Don?"

After all, the envoys came to Datang on behalf of those countries.

Now that their arms have been cut off, they returned to the country to add fuel and vinegar, which naturally revealed Datang's unreasonableness.

If the small border countries have resentment against Datang and jointly attack Datang, it will indeed be a tricky matter.

Fang Xuanling cupped his fists and said, "My lord, in my humble opinion, this matter came from the King of Beiliang. If the problem cannot be resolved from the King of Beiliang, then the safety of these envoys cannot be guaranteed. !"

Du Ruhui also nodded and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

Li Er naturally understood these things, among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only the King of Beiliang hated these envoys very much.

And it was the king of Beiliang who ordered the arm to be cut off, and Li Er tried to stop it but failed.

At this juncture, Datang is about to usher in the new year, and it should be a day of celebration throughout the country.

If the visit of these envoys can be accepted, it will naturally prove that Datang's national strength has reached a new level.

Naturally, Li Er didn't want to waste such an opportunity, but the problem lies with the King of Beiliang.

Li Er sighed and said: "Two lovers, I called you here today to find a good plan for this matter. Of course, I know that the king of Beiliang is the reason for all this! If you have any good plans, I will offer them up!"

Du Ruhui directly clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, I think that the King of Beiliang is also venting his anger for the people of our Tang Dynasty, so it is naturally what the people want! I think the people will understand!"

Li Er said: "Du Aiqing doesn't know that our Tang Dynasty is about to usher in the new year. If these envoys return to their own countries to add fuel and jealousy and let these small countries attack our Tang Dynasty, they will suffer a lot. Is it the people of Tang Dynasty?"

This statement is naturally reasonable, but Li Er said it very tactfully, and said it in a way that he wanted to save face.

Fang Xuanling said directly: "My Majesty, I thought that these envoys knew the methods of the King of Beiliang, so they were naturally terrified! If the Majesty wants these envoys not to flee back now, they can only force them to escape." Keep them!"

Li Er asked anxiously: "But how should we stay? I can't send troops to put them under house arrest, can I?"

If you do this, it is basically the same as if you didn't do it. After these envoys return to their own country, they will definitely have resentment towards Datang.

Fang Xuanling went on to say: "My Majesty! If the Majesty wants to keep these envoys, it is naturally impossible to surround them with soldiers. The Majesty can entertain these envoys in the name of a party. Presumably these envoys will not dare not come , At that time, the king of Beiliang will be photographed in the palace again, the two sides will face each other, and we ministers will resolve their conflicts, and we will have a court case!"

"Okay, okay, I like the good plan of loving you!" Li Er said a little happily.

Indeed, the best way now is for the two parties to meet.

Then the sage came forward to mediate the conflict between the two parties.

On the side of the envoys, after all, they were the ones who were unreasonable first, and Bai Jingyi only chopped off their arms to seek justice for the people.

If the holy majesty mediates the conflict between the two sides, the envoy will not refuse if he is wronged.

Bai Jingyi had already chopped off his arm, so he definitely wouldn't pursue anything!
Thinking of this, Li Er said happily: "Aiqing, this plan is very good! In front of the saint, the king of Beiliang must not dare to do anything wrong!"

Du Ruhui directly stood up and said, "My Majesty, if it was simply an invitation, most of these envoys would pretend to be sick and would not show up. After all, let them go around with the King of Beiliang, and they would definitely lose their courage!"

After Li Er heard this, he immediately hesitated. After all, Du Ruhui was telling the truth. These envoys had their arms cut off by Bai Jingyi on the execution ground. Like a frightened bird.

But if these envoys don't come, wouldn't the banquet be in vain?

Li Er looked at Du Ruhui and said, "Does Aiqing have any good strategies?"

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "My Majesty, if the Majesty wanted a simple invitation, most of these envoys would not come, but as long as the Majesty explained that he would give these envoys an explanation tonight, they probably would not dare to come." If you don't come, if you rush back to your own country, they may not be able to live well after returning!"

This is the truth, the purpose of being an envoy to the Tang Dynasty is to be sincere.

If these envoys returned to their own country, they said that there was a conflict with Datang.

They must not have a good end, after all, fighting is the most costly thing.

Li Er nodded and said: "The attention of the two lovers is very good! When the banquet starts tonight, Bai Jingyi and the envoys will meet together directly. At that time, the king will take the lead to mediate the conflict. It must be possible to make things happen. !"

At that time, it will be impossible to leave after coming.

No matter what, Li Er decided to resolve the conflict between the envoy and Bai Jingyi tonight.

Excited Li Er said to the following: "The order is passed on, the palace will hold a banquet today, and all officials and envoys must be present!"
