According to the letter, Goguryeo sent at least an additional [-] troops on the Liaodong border. "

"What does this mean? It's just being afraid."

"Thanks to Your Majesty's brilliance and martial arts, Goguryeo's courage was shattered with just a mere performance of martial arts.

Without a single soldier, you have saved the disaster of Silla and raised my national prestige! "

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

As a result, the officials continued to flatter, and Emperor Qian, who was still angry just now, suddenly became happy.

There was joy in the hall.

Chapter 180 Goguryeo envoy face saint

"I drove the Tatars north and north, defeated Tubo, and came to court from all directions, and I have already conquered the whole country.

This shocking performance of martial arts made Goguryeo know how powerful I am.

I don't think it will take long before the envoys of Goguryeo will come to us to show weakness and surrender. "

Liu Bazhai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, analyzed.

"Master Liu's words are very true, if the Goguryeo envoy comes at that time, I will not let him get away easily.

This private invasion of Silla is disrespectful to my suzerain country, and it will be difficult for him to remember if he is not embarrassed. "

Zhang Lian, Minister of Rites, agreed.

At this moment, the ministers in the palace no longer had the panic just now, and regained the demeanor of a big boss, and analyzed without haste.

"When the time comes, I will let the Goguryeo envoy take off his trousers and hit the court stick a few times. Zhang Aiqing and Liu Aiqing will still be able to wield the stick without knowing it?"

Emperor Qian was also in a very good mood at the moment, and was also happy to joke with the minister.

"The veteran has put all his bones together, and he will do whatever he wants."

Zhang Lian cupped his hands and prayed, the hall laughed constantly, and the monarch and his ministers were in harmony.

"Wang Quan, let someone serve a meal in Xiande Hall, and I invite all my loves to have a meal together today."

Emperor Qian opened his mouth to speak on a happy occasion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers hurriedly thanked him, feeling that Emperor Qian was finally willing to pluck the iron cock.

It will take some time until the lunch is ready, so all the monarchs and ministers continued to chat in the Chengyun Hall.

At this time, suddenly the guards outside the hall came in.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of Koguryo from Hongluguan are asking to see you."

The guard bowed.

"Oh? It's coming so soon?"

Emperor Qian couldn't help being surprised.

"It must be that the king of Goguryeo was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he wanted to ease the relationship early."

Liu Bazhai analyzed.

"Xuan!"

Qiandi opened his mouth and said.

"Cui Xuesang, the envoy of Goguryeo, sees His Majesty the Emperor Dagan!"

A man in his 40s, wearing a Goguryeo official uniform, walked into the hall to pay respects.

Many senior officials in the temple knew him, so they naturally knew his arrogance.

I didn't expect to pay a big salute as soon as I came in. It seemed that I was really scared by the frontier army's martial arts performance.

Seeing the once arrogant Goguryeo envoys so humble and humble, everyone felt secretly refreshed.

Cui Xuesang, who was kneeling at the moment, felt extremely aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.

Just before entering the palace, he received a letter. The golden ink pad on the envelope represented that it was the king's personal letter.

Moreover, this letter was sent through a special channel, and it was delivered quickly.

The letter states that now that Goguryeo is being attacked on both sides, he must meet Dagan's monarch and ministers as soon as possible, and must let Dagan retreat.

"Pingshen, what is your envoy's business to see me in person?"

Emperor Qian asked knowingly, sitting high on the dragon chair with an indifferent expression.

All the ministers below also seemed to be watching the show, and looked at Cui Xuesang playfully.

"My servant was entrusted by my king to come here to explain to Dagan that the attack on Silla was a grievance between the two countries, but there is absolutely no disrespect to Dagan.

Now that I, Goguryeo, have retreated and suffered heavy losses, I have already been punished by Dagan. Please also ask Dagan to rest with me in Goguryeo forever. "

Cui Xuesang said respectfully.

"Heavy losses? Big punishment?"

Hearing Cui Xuesang's words, the monarchs and ministers in the palace felt confused and didn't know what he was talking about.

"I'm just doing martial arts, why did your country say that?"

Emperor Qian asked with a puzzled look on his face.

However, at this time, Emperor Qian's words were heard in Cui Xuesang's ears, which was no different from ridicule.

"As long as Dagan is able to retreat, I, Goguryeo, am willing to pay tribute every year, offering to His Majesty ten thousand taels of gold, ten thousand branches of wild ginseng, and 20 beauties from Goguryeo."

He thought that Emperor Qian was not going to let Goguryeo go, so he hurriedly offered the negotiation conditions prepared for him by the king.

Hearing Cui Xuesang's words, Emperor Qian's eyes lit up.

"Is there such a good thing? Let the frontier army practice martial arts for a few days, and it can make Goguryeo voluntarily pay tribute."

Emperor Qian's heart beat faster, it was a joy from heaven!

"Since Goguryeo has shown its sincerity, I am not a person who has to be reasonable and unforgiving, just let the frontier soldiers stop performing martial arts."

It is beneficial to take it, Emperor Qian showed his tolerance at the moment, and decided to let Goguryeo go.

Anyway, I didn't pay almost anything, and I just got benefits for nothing, so I was naturally happy to resolve this matter.

"Your Majesty, can King An's soldiers be ordered to retreat?"

Cui Xuesang saw that Emperor Qian never mentioned the matter of King An, so he asked directly.

"What?"

"King An?"

Emperor Qian and all the officials heard the word An Wang from Cui Xuesang's mouth, and they were inexplicable.

"What does this matter have to do with King An? Why did he go to Goguryeo again?"

"It seems, it seems, the retreat of Goguryeo has nothing to do with the military performance of the frontier army? Is it all written by King An?"

Everyone guessed.

"Your Majesty, King An's troops are still on the border between Goguryeo and Silla. Please let them retreat. Goguryeo promises not to attack Silla again."

Seeing Emperor Qian remained silent, Cui Xuesang thought that he was still unwilling to retreat, so he spoke anxiously.

It's not that he hasn't dealt with powerful monarchs and ministers before, but for some reason today he feels it has never been so difficult.

The Emperor Qian in front of him is completely pretending to be deaf and dumb, and he will not stop if he sees no benefit. He is indeed the master of Daqian!

Emperor Qian also vaguely guessed something, but the key right now is that Emperor Qian doesn't know anything, what can he promise?

"I promised to let the Liaodong frontier army stop performing martial arts and return to the defensive state. I promise not to fight with you Goguryeo. Your additional [-] frontier army can withdraw.

As for King An, go talk to him yourself. "

As the sixth son's father, he was naturally reluctant to eat the meat in his mouth before spitting it out. There was no such reason in the world.

I promised to restore the Liaodong frontier army to normal, and I felt at ease for the benefits. As for what happened to King An, what did he have to do with him?

……

Chapter 181 Attached to Silla

"Your Majesty, this—how can this be done, you can't do this, then King An—"

Cui Xuesang was shocked when he heard that Emperor Qian was playing a rogue.

I lost all my chips, but you said that you let me solve it by myself.

Isn't the Central Plains Dynasty always advocating propriety, why is it like a local hooligan?

"You are teaching me how to do things!"

Before Cui Xuesang could finish speaking, Emperor Qian stood up suddenly, pointing at him furiously and shouting.

"Bold, dare to despise His Majesty!"

"Please punish the Goguryeo envoys for deceiving the emperor!"

The officials in the hall quickly cooperated.

Immediately, Cui Xuesang was so frightened that he trembled in cold sweat and dared not say anything more.

"Your Majesty has no such intention, please forgive me."

Cui Xuesang hurriedly apologized.

Now that the situation is stronger than people, he has never felt so aggrieved.

"Okay, you can go back and tell your country master that this time is just a lesson.

If there is another time, I will definitely send my troops to the north and wipe out your capital of Koguryo. "

Now that Emperor Qian knew that it was his six sons who made the move, he also had confidence in his heart.

Back then, Tatar and Tubo were many times stronger than Goguryeo, and they were all defeated by Lao Liu.

Now that King An has intervened in the affairs of Silla, he can naturally rest easy.

He even looked forward to the collapse of the Goguryeo king and Lao Liu, so that Lao Liu could easily take down Goguryeo.

It's just that you can only think about it in your heart, after all, you still have to face the big work, and you always have to worry about the opinions of other dependent countries.

As soon as Cui Xuesang left, the officials in the hall immediately started discussing.

"I didn't expect that it was His Highness King An who made Goguryeo retreat. Why did His Highness King An suddenly go to Silla again?"

"It's really thanks to His Royal Highness King An, otherwise Goguryeo would not have retreated this time, and Silla might have been destroyed by now."

Liu Bazhai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't help but analyze again.

But this time, as soon as he spoke, the entire hall became silent, and there was no one to echo him.

"Ok?"

Liu Bazhai looked around suspiciously, and saw that everyone was silent, looking at their noses and mouths.

He even felt that the few people who were chatting with him just now secretly moved aside.

"Okay, the morning is gone, what are you still doing here, go back!"

I saw Qiandi on the dragon chair impatiently opening his mouth to push people away.

"Sir, please retire!"

"Sir, please retire!"

Everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted, and retreated outside the hall.

"Hey, don't you still have lunch? Why are you leaving?"

Liu Bazhai grabbed Zhang Lian, Minister of Rites next to him, and asked in a low voice.
