Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty - Chapter 163

Fighting Goryeo in autumn and winter costs a lot of money, and spring and summer are not good. Spring and summer are when people cannot be separated from the land. There are no special wars in the four seasons of the year. There are disadvantages of one kind or another, and it costs money to calculate it.

The best way to save money is not to fight. But this Goryeo repeatedly provokes the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, it is like a fly on a cow’s tail. You say it is a big threat, but it’s not counted; you say that it is annoying to ignore it. If you don’t convince it, how can you let the Quartet come?

His Majesty Li Er still didn’t want to give up, and continued to stand against Wei Zheng and others.

Li Yuanying waited and waited until his Majesty Li Er ordered himself to be in the domain, and then ran to give his Majesty Li Er an idea, saying that if Goryeo is so weak, the sudden pressure of the army will scare them to death. It is better to let the royal mission. Go on an envoy once again, go to Goryeo to declare an decree, and give them another chance to change.

Last time it was the youngest leader, this time it should be the fourth one, so let the fourth one go and say to Gaoli, if you are not obedient, next year, no sooner or late next year, you will be hit on time! If you occupy forty cities in Silla, you spit out 80 cities. Forty cities are returned to Silla. The remaining forty cities are kept by Datang for you. Not much is required of you, and a lot of what is required of you, so you too Taste the pain of being taken over forty cities! Calculate the overall military expenses that Datang needs to spend on training and let them repay them. No one is missing, and they can be paid in installments.

In order to go to the fief, Li Yuanying worked out the military budget with great effort. His Majesty Li Er was shocked when he saw it. This kid was really shameless. He actually counted the losses caused by no one in the land. Why? Doesn’t it count “if this person raises a pig at home and can sell big pigs for the New Year”? !

Li Yuanying still thinks that she is quite reasonable. Isn’t this all the loss caused by the fight against Goryeo? Since we are going to fight, we have to count on Goryeo and let him pay it back! You can’t just surrender and surrender, you must pay back all the money!

Li Yuanying said: “I heard Lao Li say that Korea is shameless. If you say surrender, you will surrender. She has no bones and will continue to do bad things. We must first explain things to him clearly and let them know that they will pay if they lose. At what price, fight a plain battle!”

His Majesty Li Er thinks that the most shameless person in the world is Li Yuanying, but in the end he plausibly said that he is shameless! He accepted the notes written by Li Yuanying and asked Li Yuanying to go back first. He had to discuss with others.

As soon as Li Yuanying left, His Majesty Li Er asked Wei Zheng and the others to call, and show them the book on Li Yuanying.

In order to make an early conclusion on the issue of Goryeo, Li Yuanying has worked hard. In the past few days, he has been bothering to collect information and calculate data with his friends. Although some of the funds seem quite shameless, it seems to be carefully considered. Goryeo should pay for it.

If it is for no reason to ask people to pay so much money and cut so many cities, it will make people poke their backbones, but if they send a messenger to give them a choice, let them decide whether to listen or not, and explain that they have violated the will of the Tang Dynasty. Isn’t that justified by the consequences? They chose it themselves!

After reading Li Yuanying’s detailed and well-documented “military budget”, Wei Zhengmu felt that Li Yuanying had a thorough understanding of the war’s damage, so why didn’t he use this to persuade His Majesty Li Er not to fight, but used it to persuade Li Yuanying to do it again next year. beat? A bastard!

The monarchs and ministers sat down and discussed, and they all felt that the suggestion made in advance was good. Since they want to fight, they can’t fight in vain, at least not let the court lose money. It’s Goryeo’s fault. Of course, Goryeo has to pay the money!

As for the forty cities, it is natural that Datang sent people to help them take charge. If they perform well, they can consider paying them back. If they do not well, forget it!

It was the candidate for this messenger. Changsun Wuji and others felt that Li Tae was not suitable. After all, Li Tae was the son of His Majesty Li Er and Changsun Wuji. It would not be good for him to do this. What to do with Li Tae in a trouble?

Don’t even look at His Majesty Li Er now enclosing Li Tai in the fief to prevent him from returning to Beijing, Li Taizhen is going to have something wrong, and they, who did not prevent His Majesty Li Er from electing him as an ambassador, may not be recorded by His Majesty Li Er.

Changsun Wuji also suggested: “According to my opinion, whoever has an idea is the most suitable.”

Wei Zheng’s mouth moved and moved, after all, he said nothing.

He couldn’t object to this matter. He opposed it. Wouldn’t it be that Li Yuanying was in the pit of Li Tai. He knew that Li Yuanying certainly didn’t mean that. After all, if Li Er’s Majesty really let Li Yuanying go to Korea, Li Yuanying would definitely jump to the sky with joy!

His Majesty Li Er looked around and saw that no one refuted Sun Wuji’s words. He felt that his younger brother was really unfavored in the court, and he didn’t even have a person to help him. His princess’ grandfather was still Wei Zheng, and his eyebrows were raised all day long. A fierce look on his face! He made a final decision: “Let Qingque as the principal envoy, and Ma Zhou as the deputy envoy, and set a day for Goryeo.”

After the decision was over, His Majesty Li Er asked Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang to draft a copy of the national book, following Li Yuanying’s eclectic model, but with a more graceful sentence and a more tactful language. In short, it had to be written so that it sounded more ugly, but In essence, it is still so shameless.

The expressions on Cen Wenwen’s and Chu Suiliang’s faces are hard to describe.

In any case, the tug-of-war between the DPRK and China finally came to an end. Li Yuanying learned from Wei Zhengna that Changsun Wuji had suggested that she should go to Goryeo, and she ran to ask why His Majesty Li Er refused to agree. If he had known that he could still go, he would nominate himself!

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows: “Do you still dare to go to Goryeo?” As long as someone reveals who the idea is, Li Yuanying will not come back. People in Korea may think that they will be beaten by Datang anyway. Let him kill him!

Li Yuanying said: “Why don’t you dare? If they don’t do bad things first, why would Datang beat them? Brother Huang, you said, we Datang is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness! I will settle accounts with them, they still dare Can’t do it to me? Don’t look at whose brother I am!”

His Majesty Li Er is very useful to these words. Of course, what should be hit is still hit. He stared at Li Yuanying and said, “Don’t think about the mission.”

Li Yuanying has the ability to spoil his ideas with just one mouth. His Majesty Li Er was really worried that he would run out, and he was afraid that someone would be killed if he didn’t pay attention. After all, it’s not that no one knows what ideas he has put forward. At least Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling know them, and they don’t seem to like Li Yuanying that much.

Li Yuanying knew that it would be no good to be an envoy. He was not disappointed to hear his Majesty Li Er’s words, and she secretly proposed going to the fief.

Since Li Yuanying came back from Taiyuan, no matter what the topic was, he could think about it. His Majesty Li Er mentioned it again when he heard him shyly, his face was faint, and he didn’t say yes or not, so he just asked him to go back first.

After some time, Li Yuanying received grapes and Changchu from Huxian County. He taught people to grow grapes. Some have already produced fruit, and some are still growing. They are all well taken care of. No, someone sent him to let him try it!

In fact, someone sent the watermelon when it was ripe, but Li Yuanying was in Taiyuan and didn’t eat it at that time.

As for Chang Chu, it was originally wild fruit in Zhongnan Mountain. Later, everyone found that it was delicious, so they circled them as their own. The system told him that this thing is actually kiwi fruit, which is quite nutritious, and eating something in season is good for the body. Li Yuanying asked someone to cut it out and give him a taste. The sour and sweet were pretty good, so he took it to Liu Baolin to present the treasure.

The weather has been a bit hot these few days. Liu Baolin made samchu butter for him according to the way of cherry butter. Pour some caramel juice and fresh goat milk on the cut chuchu pulp, then freeze it in ice and take it out to taste. When it was a little bit, the taste was very good, and the taste was better than what I had eaten, so I asked someone to take it to relieve Li Yuanying’s greed.

Li Yuanying ate the Changchu Bingju that Liu Baolin made for him. He was in a good mood and felt that the days were so beautiful.

At this time Li Tai also returned to Chang’an.

This is the first time that Li Tai has returned to Chang’an since he became Fan. Along the way, Li Tai kept suffocating in his heart, and wanted to go to Li Yuanying to ask clearly: How can I let me go? I don’t call you Uncle Yao, can I call your ancestor? !

But when he arrived in Chang’an, Li Tai’s breath suddenly disappeared.

If it wasn’t for his father’s desire to let him go, Li Yuanying would be useless. In the final analysis, this was what his father meant. Whether it’s good or bad, high or low, is actually a matter of his father’s will. It’s really boring to hate Li Yuanying. As for the father, that is not something he can hate.

Li Tai received orders and prepared well, except for occasions where he had to attend, and hardly had any contact with anyone. His Majesty Li Er hadn’t seen this son for more than two years. He felt that he was thinner and depressed. He was a little bit heartbroken. He left him to talk, but the intimacy between father and son finally disappeared.

Li Chengqian was worried when he heard that Li Tai came back, and then knew that Li Tai was left behind by His Majesty Li Er, and he was even more worried that His Majesty Li Er would lift Li Tai up again because of Li Tai’s spoiling. He had experienced this kind of thing too many times before, and he couldn’t help but not think about it too much.

Just as Li Chengqian was in trouble, Helan Chushi approached and said that Hou Junji wanted to meet him.

Li Chengqian didn’t have much contact with Hou Junji, but Helan Chushi was beside him, and he was also Hou Junji’s son-in-law. He thought about it and asked Helan Chushi to take Hou Junji to the East Palace.

Hou Junji came to serve Li Chengqian. He was really crushed and had nothing to do. He wanted to go the way of the East Palace. Regardless of his rank in the Lingyan Pavilion, he is actually just a rich and noble idler with no real power. How can he live a life like this?

Hou Junji raised his hands towards Li Chengqian and said, “His Royal Highness, do you think I can still use these hands? If Your Highness can use them, they can only be sent by His Highness!”

Li Chengqian’s heart jumped. He calmed his mind and exhorted Hou Junji, saying that in the coming year, the imperial court must have these hands for Goryeo.

When Hou Junji saw Li Chengqian only talking about the court and not mentioning other things, he was a little disappointed. If it weren’t for his own chance, how could he come to serve Li Chengqian? When he followed His Majesty Li Er to fight the world, Li Chengqian was still a nasty kid, and he is not much better now!

The generals who thought Donggong had little use in the army, as long as he showed his intention to be effective, Li Chengqian would definitely be extremely enthusiastic.

Hou Junji couldn’t pull his face down and say anything. Thinking of Li Tai’s return to Beijing, he talked about another thing: “I heard that King Wei did not come to visit His Highness after he returned to Beijing? Really, Brother Muwu!”

Li Chengqian said: “Qingque has an important task in returning to Beijing this time. Once I have seen it, I don’t need to pay another visit.”

Hou Junji pointedly said: “This ‘important task’ was asked by King Teng for him.”

Hou Junji could not see through Li Yuanying, but since Li Yuanying came to prison to persuade him to confess his guilt, he has paid more attention to Li Yuanying. After several years of observation, Hou Junji found out that whether it was intentional or good luck, Li Yuanying acted seemingly without rules, but actually stepped on the safety line very cleverly every time.

Since the contribution to the East Palace failed, Hou Junji wanted to bury the roots in Li Chengqian’s heart and make Li Chengqian be wary of Li Yuanying, a wicked fellow.

This kid has been around all day long, and everything seems to be playing. His Majesty Li Er is used to him, and Li Chengqian gets close to him again, which is really an eye-catcher!

Li Chengqian politely sent away Hou Junji, thinking that Hou Junji finally mentioned Li Yuanying, and his mood calmed down wonderfully.

Yes, this matter was proposed by Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying will never harm him. What is he worried about? What’s more, Qingque is not the same as the original Qingque, even if he still has ideas about the position of the East Palace, no one will place a heavy bet on him anymore.

Li Chengqian suddenly enlightened, and every day diligently followed his Majesty Li Er to learn how to deal with government affairs. Seeing Li Tai could also put on a good elder brother’s posture to ask about the current situation of his nephews, and also asked him if he could hire a famous teacher, but did not invite him. If you arrive, you can call someone from the Hongwen Hall. Uncle Yao said that a good teacher is very important, and you must choose the right person to enlighten your nephews.

Li Tai was really disgusted by Li Chengqian’s good brother and uncle, and just wanted to leave early!

Isn’t this guy learning from Li Yuanying? !

How about both of them care about his son!

His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied with this, and felt that Cheng Qian was finally a little older. Even if there are some gaps between their brothers, they don’t have to be carried over to the next generation. When they turn around and let the children get together, the relationship between the two families will naturally come back, and it can be regarded as another kind of harmony.

His Majesty Li Er was pleased, and finally figured out the will of letting Li Yuanying be in control.

It was just that this decree was sent to the Zhongshu Province, and Fang Xuanling and others exploded, and they jointly approached His Majesty Li Er to raise their objections!

The author has something to say:

Hou Junji: Your Highness, the idea of ​​getting Li Tai back was from King Teng!

Nephew: Yes, it turned out to be Uncle Yao, so I can rest assured.

Hou Junji:? ? ? ? ?

Some people say that going to the fief is over! Why is it over to the fief! impossible! The little prince is only fourteen years old! I haven’t been to a few places, so why end it! Does it seem to be finished! Qaq Tiantianchun was shocked and needs everyone to pour nutrition and hydraulic pressure to shock! (Hey)

Note: Hou Junji did say to Cheng Qian, “This is a good player, should be used.” Then the two conspired to rebel. The things recorded by the ancients are really interesting. For example, Emperor Sui Yang took a self-portrait in the mirror when he fled, and said in pain, “My great head will be cut off by someone in the future!” There is a trace of sand sculpture narcissism in the sadness! (Do not
