Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

But at this time, people like Changsun Wuji, Chai Shao, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and others scolded them almost at the same time.

"You bastard, are you looking for death?!"

In this chaotic situation, Hou Junji retreated to the side, thinking of discussing with others to see who would be better to send up to fight against the theory of obsessive thinking power.

After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of this matter, not to mention that he has already attracted Li Shimin's dissatisfaction just now.

If he can't find a suitable candidate today, he, who has just been a minister of officials for a few months, will probably come to an end.

At that time, in the historian's pen, it was not such a glorious thing.

It's just that when he looked around and wanted to discuss and find a suitable civil servant to negotiate with the Turkic envoy.

Almost everyone's eyes are avoiding him.

These civil servants are not stupid, they also saw Zheng Shanguo's appearance when he faced the vicious Turkic envoy just now.

Can you guarantee that if you go up in a hurry, you will be better than Zheng Shanguo who has been preparing for many days?

What's more, this kind of thankless job is a matter of course if you do it well, but you will lose your job if you don't do it well. Who wants to find trouble for nothing?

Are you full? !

What's more, in the eyes of these gentry civil servants, this Hou Junji is also a guy from a humble background who rides a horse and wields a kitchen knife.

With a little military merit, he sat on the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he was quite arrogant to these officials on weekdays.

He has already made everyone dissatisfied, and now he can't wait for him to make a fool of himself, lose his job, and get retribution, who will care about him?

Therefore, at this time, Hou Junji was caught in a dilemma.

Like Fang Xuanling, Wang Gui, and Xiao Yu, these are all prime ministers, his superiors.

As for those ministers, he was at the same level as him, and he did not have the power to command and transfer.

But now all the civil servants he can mobilize are avoiding him, not even looking at him, and he doesn't know who to choose for a while.

It's even less clear who has the ability to handle this.

Dilemma, stalemate here.

Seeing the louder and louder quarrel between the ministers and Zhishenli, Hou Junji's forehead was also covered with sweat.

It can be regarded as quick wit, at this time his anxious and increasingly blank mind immediately appeared the figure of his great enemy Li Qiu.

Immediately afterwards, he directly ordered to find Li Qiu, the king of Peking, to take up the post of Honglu Qing temporarily.

On the other side, seeing the chaos in the court, if this continues, it will really lose the face of this Tang Dynasty.

So Wen Yanbo stepped forward directly, and began to discuss and negotiate with the Turkic envoy on behalf of the Tang Dynasty.

Although this Wen Yanbo is also a typical literati, he has never fought a war, and he has never been in contact with a murderous Turkic general.

But he was upright, his heart was open, his eyes were firm and peaceful, and he didn't have the slightest fear of losing his mind.

Citing scriptures and classics, he confronted Zhisili with reason and evidence, and stated the conditions that the Turks must agree to if they want to become ministers.

In fact, to put it bluntly, these contents are nothing more than two points.

One is to pay tribute every year and how much to pay.

Second, it is necessary to let the tribes of the grassland follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and migrate to the ruins and barren lands around Shuofang City to live.

Accept Datang's supervision at any time.

Regarding the first point, Zhishen Li still has the meaning of spitting out, but he is still striving hard.

Minimize the number of cattle, sheep and horses that pay tribute every year.

As for the second point, it means the same thing, and I strongly disagree.

Just as the two of them were negotiating and arguing, half an hour passed.

At this time, Li Shimin also frowned, with a hint of anger in his heart, and directly made a decision.

"I have lost my mind, as for the half of the tribute you asked for."

"I promise to be with you."

"But the tribes of your grasslands moved to the Shuofang area, so there is no need to discuss this matter."

"You must agree!"

Hearing this, Zhi Shi Si Li also made his final determination, "Emperor Tang, this is to let our grassland tribe leave the grassland land where we were born and raised."

"It is absolutely impossible to come to live in your Great Tang territory!"

"If you insist so much, then I can only take back the sincerity of my Grassland Khan's surrender and tribute to you."

"For me, you can kill or cut whatever you want."

"For all the tribes in our grassland, if you want to fight, we will never frown."

"Farewell!"

Saying that, the clinging lost his mind immediately turned around and was about to leave.

This time, Li Shimin and others were severely defeated.

And at this moment, on the other side, Li Qiu, who was dressed in purple, was also accompanied by the palace eunuchs and Honglu Temple officials, coming towards the Taiji Hall.

Chapter 465

At this moment in the Tai Chi Hall, seeing that the negotiations were about to collapse, and the Turkic envoys were desperate to leave, everyone present couldn't help but be surprised.

The toughness of the Turkic envoys this time also greatly exceeded their expectations.

In fact, this is also a tactic that Zhi Shi Si Li, Yi Shi Yi Nan and others have studied for many days before.

Deliberately put on a posture that does not have to surrender.

In order not to be too passive in this negotiation.

Not to mention, their strategy really hit the heart of everyone in Datang.

In fact, including Li Shimin himself, as well as so many important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, what they care more about is the merits and political achievements of making the Turks submit to themselves, which is enough to be remembered in history.

Especially for Li Shimin, no matter what, the change of Xuanwu Gate he instigated before, and this way of killing brothers and brothers and forcing his father to abdicate, will definitely leave a deep stain in the history books.

So after becoming the emperor, he was always thinking about how to lighten or even eliminate this stain.

It is not without the idea of ​​persecuting and threatening the historian, but it was (temporarily) unsuccessful.

Even in history, Li Shimin is also the emperor who cares most about his own reputation and tampers with the historical materials of the current dynasty the most.

And this time's victory in the war, the surrender of the Turks is undoubtedly the biggest recognition of Li Shimin's achievements in governance.

It can also greatly enhance his brilliance in the history books, and never dilute the stain of his improper origin of the throne.

So at this moment in Li Shimin's heart, it is very contradictory.

He didn't want to let the obsession and thinking power go away like this, and let the halo that was immediately blessed on him disappear again like this.

Even several times, Li Shimin wanted to call him to stop when he saw that Zhishenli was deliberately slowing down his pace of leaving.

agree to his terms.

Let the tribes of the grassland continue to live on the grassland, and pay tribute to the Great Tang every year.

Not only Li Shimin, but also many civil servants in the hall are similar.

It was a dilemma to be caught by the act of losing one's mind.

Defeating the Turks militarily was all the achievements of the generals.

But let the Turks become ministers and pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year. These achievements belong to the civil servants.

They also didn't want to watch the duck they got fly away like this.

Just when the officials were anxious, Li Shimin's throat was trembling up and down.

I saw Li Qiu in a purple robe, walking in from outside the Tai Chi Hall in an even and steady manner under the guard of Honglu Temple officials.

It also happened to be the opposite of Zhishi Sili who was leaving.

As soon as he saw Li Qiu, the depths of his eyes could not help but twitch, despite the fact that he was still calm on the surface.

But in fact, his entire heart tightened, and the secretly smug expression in his eyes disappeared instantly.

This time before he came to Datang for his mission, he lost his mind and didn't worry about anything, but he was only worried about the Youzhou King of Datang, Li Qiu.

Indeed, the shadow of the Fang Tian painted halberd holding Fang Tian's painted halberd and killing indiscriminately among the chaotic army is too depressing and profound.

He is a hero who loses his mind and is not afraid of death, but only in front of this figure, he has an inexplicable sense of trembling.

Those civil servants didn't find anything wrong with this change in the ability to lose consciousness.

But people like Li Shimin, Chai Shao, Hou Junji, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and others are very sensitive to perception.

When Zhishenli saw Li Qiu, especially when he and Li Qiu passed by, the aura around Zhishenli's whole body became tense.

On the other hand, Li Qiu was still like the old man, seeing nothing but losing his mind, and under the guard of the officials of Honglu Temple, he came to the center of the hall with great interest.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin and other generals applauded Li Qiu secretly.

This bastard, at critical moments and in front of foreign enemies, always has such a strong and domineering aura.

Greatly boost my Tang Guowei.

Of course, this naturally does not include Hou Junji.

Just when Li Qiu brushed past Zhishisili, and the moment when Zhishisili's breath was blocked for an instant, Hou Junji felt a little shaken in his heart.

Wasn't it a bit of a mistake in making Li Qiu to be this temporary Hong Luqing?

At that time, Hou Junji was roasted on the fire by those civil servants, he was really cornered, and he wanted to bring disaster to the east.

Bring over Li Qiu, who doesn't know anything, and take the blame for himself.

When Li Qiu messed up, His Majesty will mainly punish Li Qiu, and the second one will be himself, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

He, Hou Junji, was not at a disadvantage, anyway, he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.

But looking at it right now, he didn't know why, but he felt something was wrong!

At this moment, Li Qiu frowned slightly, and bowed to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, are you looking for a minister to be the Honglu Minister who receives the Turkic envoys?"

What kind of person Li Shimin was, when he saw Li Qiu suddenly running over from Furong Garden to meet him, and the sweaty Honglu Temple officials beside him, he instantly understood the origin of it.

Most likely, Li Qiu was picked on by those civil servants and came to take up this tricky job.

But at the moment, it seems that this group of bastard civil servants seem to have made a mistake, and they really did one thing right.

This Li Qiu seemed to have a natural repression for this stubborn man, who was not afraid of death, and ordered tofu with brine.

So Li Shimin also nodded, "That's right, King of Peiping, you killed the two Khans of the Turks with your own hands."

"I led the team to go out in person again, and flattened the Turkic king's account."

"It is most suitable for you to take up the position of Hongluqing."

Li Shimin's words were also intended to be heard by Zhishen, and beat him up.

In order to strengthen his momentum, he also let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this time, Li Qiu bowed again, and asked loudly: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask you."

"Your Majesty ordered the minister to be the Minister of Honglu, and he may have full power to deal with the Turkic surrender. No matter what decision the minister makes in the end, His Majesty will delegate power and agree to it?"

Hearing the murderous intent in Li Qiu's words became stronger and more domineering, Li Shimin's heart suddenly felt refreshed.

The son is so heroic and high-spirited, how can he, as an old man, destroy his own prestige? !

What's more, Li Shimin was also very happy that his son asked him for support once in a while, so how could he not seize this opportunity and pamper his son once?

Ever since, Li Shimin immediately clapped the dragon case, "Okay!"

"I agree with you, and I will leave this matter to you to handle."

"No matter what the result is, no one else is allowed to interfere."

"I will bear all the consequences for you myself!"

Li Shimin's straightforwardness also greatly exceeded Li Qiu's expectations.

The next moment, after obtaining this Shangfang sword that held the power of life and death in Turks, Li Qiu's aura and murderous intent surged once again.
