Chapter 3 Seeking Unification

Yanji City, Yipinju.

"Ding!" The three cups touched each other, and they were all drunk, and the atmosphere was warm. The wine and fragments on the table were cleaned up, and nine Goguryeo-style dishes specially found by Hou Xibai were placed, which were full of color, fragrance and taste, which only made Kou Zhong and Song Shidao praise.

Hou Xibai was previously appointed by his teacher Shi Zhixuan and has been visiting the military and civilian situation in Dongying. Later, when he learned about the grassland, Kou Zhong and others, he planned to go to North Korea to meet with him to make a thorough strategy. After meeting today, Kou Zhong told him to give up the throne. He was very surprised. Unexpectedly, the emperor of the Dahua Dynasty had such a earth-shaking change in a blink of an eye. What made him more curious was that the relevant matters related to the "Huatang Federal Treaty" could make Yunyi get along with each other so strangely and peacefully deal with the unification of the north and the world. The law is really jaw-dropping.

Hou Xibai first cheered and said, "The concubine will be very gratified about this. The other happiest beauty should be Princess Xiuning, but her mood will be much more complicated."

Kou Zhong muttered, "This series of major events must be handled carefully, otherwise not only Li Tang, but also Dahua will be unstable, and it will be divided into civil strife. Therefore, the first thing is to keep secrets, only a few people who are qualified to know."

Hou Xibai, who is still unrestrained, turned the beauty fan and smiled, "But what I'm curious about is that Princess Yuzhi really has such a great charm that the young marshal gave up the world's highest emperor dragon chair?"

Kou Zhong also shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "In your eyes, I am the invincible commander of the world, but I am by no means the material for the emperor. What I lack is not talent or love for the people, but patience. Alas! I know my own affairs. Every time I look at the piled up of cases on the table, I immediately have a big head and just want to leave, ha! Even if the seat is the emperor's dragon chair, it is no exception.

Hou Xibai smiled and said, "Come on! Cheers! First of all, it is to rejoice that you have to get rid of the sea of suffering. Let's ask the emperor's position. How can Miss Song and Xiufang change their hearts to you? This is for you to make them forget all the feats of your past. There is no one in the world who has such courage than the young marshal.

Song Shidao laughed dumbly and said, "The affectionate prince will never get rid of his erotic nature. Kou Zhong's explanations are not comparable to your three major reasons.

"Huh! The affectionate man got a false reputation! I don't want to be just a drunken fan all day long!" A delicate scolding sound interrupted the banquet of the three people.

"Ah! It's Junyu!" Song Shidao was excited, and the wine cup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. He stood up and stared at the stairs on the second floor of Yipinju.

The footsteps sounded, the fragrant wind came, and the beautiful woman in white reappeared in front of her.

"Junyu! ..." Song Shidao stepped forward quickly, but suddenly stopped, but he didn't know how to say.

"Why are you back again! Didn't you let you go back to your Central Plains?" Fu Junyu's cold jade face warmed slightly, and Xiu frowned slightly. When a well-eyed person knows at a glance, it is obvious that his mood fluctuates, and it is difficult for him to be himself.

"Ha! It turned out to be the second aunt, the unfilial nephew Kou Zhong's salute!" Kou Zhong came forward and said politely with a smile.

"Huh! The young commander has defeated the grassland overlord Jie Li. Such a figure, the little woman can't stand it!" Fu Junyu said coldly, "What are you looking at!" If you look at it again, it will blind your eyes!"

Hou Xibai, who was shocked by Fu Junyu's exotic demeanor, opened his eyes and seemed to have lost his soul. He immediately woke up. Then he returned to his unrestrained state and showed the most charming smile and said, "If I poke blind my two most beautiful eyes in the world, then I will be violently. !"

"Junyu! We came here this time to see Lord Fu, hoping that Junyu can convey it on his behalf!" When Song Shidao saw that Fu Junyu was about to attack again, he hurriedly reconciled.

"Kou Zhong! If you don't return to Chang'an to ascend the throne, why did you come to Yanji? Fu Junyu did not answer Song Shidao, but questioned Kou Zhongdao.

"As a junior! When you come to the grassland, you will naturally come to visit your master, and you will live up to your mother's kindness!" Kou Zhong said with a smile.

"Huh! It's your acquaintance! When the master learned that you were coming, he pointed out that I came to greet him. By the way, he warned the young commander not to make trouble here, otherwise Yijian Pavilion would never give up. Fu Junyu pointed out.

"What's the matter of meeting the master?" Kou Zhong was under the eaves and had to bow his head and smiled bitterly. The strength and status of Yijian Pavilion in North Korea is no less than that of Cihang Jingzhai in the Central Plains.

"You are waiting here now, and we will talk about it after the teacher's lunch break!" Fu Junyu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Fu Cailin's attitude towards Kou Zhong and said coldly.

......

Chang'an, imperial study.

Other courtiers have dispersed. Song Lu accepted the call and entered the imperial study, because in order to achieve the treaty, he must first persuade the Song valve. If he wants to persuade the Song valve, he must first break through Song Lu. Song Lu listened solemnly to Yun Yi's detailed description of the relevant content of the "China-Tang Federal Treaty", in which his expression was wonderful.

Yun Yi concluded: "If the merger is successful, this will be the only way to make Zhongtu retreat from foreign enemies, avoid great disasters, and achieve peaceful reunification."

Song Lu shook his head and said, "I understand the character of the eldest brother. No one can shake his belief. Fan Qinghui couldn't do it before, but he still can't do it today. Although this method cleverly avoids war, it faces a fundamental problem, that is, who is the emperor's seat? And before that, the two sides of China and Tang Dynasty needed enough strength to stabilize the forces of the north and south, otherwise the situation of division would be inevitable. The disaster caused by improper handling was even more tragic than the way of war.

But it's the best way at present! Otherwise, even if it is unified, it will definitely damage the vitality of the Central Plains, and it will be difficult to take a step outside the Great Wall for more than ten years. Yun Yi was a little worried.

"That said, you still forget a key figure, that is, Song Zhi, whose status is only under the eldest brother. He has the ambition to unify the world like the eldest brother. The difference is that the eldest brother is for the lofty Han Dynasty to unify the world, but the second brother wants to make the Song family the first valve of the Central Plains. He is about to succeed. If he wants to give up, it is another It's a big problem." Song Lu was worried.

"What do you think of Uncle Lu?" Yun Yi asked.

"Frankly speaking, I agree with this unified approach in my heart, but I am still worried that after the merger, is it China or Tang?" Song Lu was silent for a long time and said with a wry smile.

......

Song Lu withdrew from the imperial study, and Yun Jiu immediately rushed forward to report.

"Told the master that Li Xiuning asked for a meeting."

Yun Yi rubbed his temple, smiled bitterly, and nodded to announce the call. The door opened, revealing Li Xiuning's tired jade face. He met Yun Yi's eyes and came forward to salute. His eyes shot a complex look and said softly, "I've seen Yi Shuai!"

"There is no need for Xiuning to see each other. We are about to be a family, hey! Speaking of which, I also want to call you 'sister-in-law'!" Yun Yi got up from the dragon chair and prevented Li Xiuning from saluteing.

"Yi Shuai has just returned to Beijing, and he must be busy with the military and politics. He didn't want to disturb him, but as a daughter, he really can't bear to see his father and brother suffer, so he can only be bold!" Li Xiuning said sadly.

"Xiu Ning really made it difficult for me as a younger brother. Zhong Shao didn't do it, and I couldn't do it either. What's more, if I let your father and brother go, it will only make the Northern Tang Dynasty more chaotic. Yun Yi said with a wry smile.

"Father and brother, they are not that kind of people!" Li Xiuning's delicate body trembled, tears fluttered, and insisted.

"Xiu Ning is known as 'Li Niangzi'. She is the princess of Pingyang. She used to be a hero. Don't you understand the truth that there is no two masters in the country?" Yun Yi sighed softly.

"But..." Li Xiuning was unwilling to cry.

"Xiuning, don't worry! I will order the release of the Li Tang royal family. As long as they don't leave the Zanglong Villa, they will be no different from ordinary people. This is already the biggest concession. Yun Yi turned around, looked up at the plaque of "The World is Public" directly above the imperial table, and sighed.

"Ah! ..." Li Xiuning was so excited that he couldn't say anything. He just wanted to kneel down and thank him. However, she found that she could not kneel down, and Yun Yi had already laid a Zhenyuan in front of her.

"The princess doesn't have to be like this! Otherwise, that young man must kill me!" Yun Yi said helplessly.

"Yi Shuai is a good person!" Li Xiuning was amused with tears and said sweetly.

"I've been called a lot, but it's the first time I've been called a 'good person'. This time, thanks to your good sister and my good wife." Yun Yi suddenly turned around and said with a smile.

"Huh! If I had known that I was here, not only did I not meet him, but I just clicked it now. Let's see if my son will recognize your ridiculous father in the future!" A heroic but charming voice came, and then the footsteps sounded. Obviously, the person had left.

"Princess, forgive me! If I don't catch up with him, I will really be slaughtered!" Before Yun Yi finished his words, he flashed out of the imperial study, leaving only Li Xiuning's heartfelt smile.
