The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 745 Difficult Negotiations 2

"Your Highness, the big food thief is rampant and rude. How dare you despise me so much in the Tang Dynasty? This matter must be reported to the Empress tomorrow this morning. Please leave first!"

The Great Food Envoy Group just left. Yuan Wanqing, who thought he had succeeded in disrupting the peace talks, did not want to stay in the East Palace. He was eager to find Queen Wu to report the good news, so he hurriedly put forward his words.

"Well, there is Lao Yuan Aiqing today. Let's go."

Li Xian was too lazy to see the old face of Yuan Wanqing. Since he took the initiative to leave, Li Xian would not stay more. His voice soothed him flatly, and then waved his hand and let it away.

"Your Highness, there is a mouse shit of ten thousand hectares. I'm afraid this peace talks can't go on, so we have to get started quickly."

Lin Mingdu did not know Li Xian's peace talks deployment, but he knew Yuan Wanqing's bad intentions. He was so worried that he couldn't help it. As soon as Yuan Wanqing walked out of the hall, Lin Mingdu said angrily.

"Your Highness, I think what Lin Shangshu said is very true. If this person is not eliminated, how can there be a peace negotiation? We must try to put it out of the peace talks. Otherwise, no matter how we talk about it, it will be difficult to achieve!"

Wang Fangming is a new courtier, but he is not very restrained because of this. He is famous for his courage to speak. When he saw Lin Mingdu, he opened his mouth first and refused to lag behind, so he also echoed with the words.

"It doesn't matter. I know it in my heart. Let's talk about it here today. Let's go back first. Let's think about how to talk about it next."

Lin and Wang's suggestions are indeed reasonable, but Li Xian didn't care about it and didn't plan to make his own overall deployment. He just waved his hand with a smile, and the wind and clouds lightly dismiss the order.

"No, I'm leaving."

Since Li Xian has said so, the ministers and workers are extremely worried in their hearts, but it is not easy to say anything more. They can only bow down and leave, and Li Xian did not stay in the hall for much time. He got up and went to the apse study. The first formal negotiation was a temporary end...

"To the Empress, Yuan Hong is here."

In the imperial study of the Xuanzheng Hall of the Daming Palace, the Empress Wu, dressed in a bright yellow skirt, sat solemnly behind several children. Li Zhen, the king of Yue, who came to gossip and actually took the opportunity to contact her feelings, but saw Cheng Deng Gao hurriedly emerge from the back of the screen, rushed to the front, and respectfully reported. .

"Well, Xuan!"

Queen Wu was also eager to know the real situation of the peace talks at this time. She would not hesitate and said it directly.

"No."

Queen Wu had a purpose. Cheng Denggao did not dare to delay a little. He hurriedly answered, hurriedly withdrew from the study, and went to call Yuan Wanqing without mentioning it.

"The Empress has official duties, and the old minister dares not delay any more, and the old minister will leave temporarily."

The peace talks matter mattered a lot. Naturally, Li Zhen also wanted to know about the progress, but she was afraid that the Empress Wu would see something strange, so she resigned with a retreat.

"What is Uncle Eight talking about? There is nothing wrong with it. Let's listen to the peace talks together, so that we can help this palace with one or two details."

How could the shrewd individual of the Empress Wu not see the real intention of the King of Yue? However, he did not pay attention to it. He smiled and pressed his hand and said to stay.

"The Empress has an order, and the old minister just obeys the order."

Li Zhen originally wanted to stay. Naturally, she was happy to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, thanked him humbly, and sat back on the Jindunzi again.

"Weichen knocked on the Queen Mother."

After a short time, Yuan Wanqing had been accompanied into the study by Cheng Denggao. When he saw the King of Yue also sitting here, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't dare to delay a little. He rushed to grab the copywriting and made a big gift respectfully.

"Forever, Aiqing has worked hard today. What can you get?"

Empress Wu was very clear about Yuan Wanqing's arrogant nature, and she would not give him a chance to have a big attack. She waved her hand with a solemn face and asked quietly.

"The Empress is clear, today's discussion is like this..."

Yuan Wanqing was crazy in front of others. Even in front of Li Xian, the prestigious prince, he did not have much restraint. Only in the face of the Empress Wu, he did not dare to have a trace of careless. He carefully peeked at the Empress Wu's face, and then chattered about today's peace. I repeated it in detail, and there was a lot of self-bragging.

"Well, what does Your Highness have you said?"

Queen Wu quietly listened to Yuan Wanqing's words, but did not give instructions or comment on the content of the peace talks, but asked Li Xian's attitude.

"There is no word for the Empress. It's just that we will talk about it on the next day. In addition, there is nothing else."

Yuan Wanqing thought he had a lot of credit, but he didn't expect that the Empress Wu would not say a word of praise. It was inevitable to lose his heart, but he did not dare to bring it to his face. He could only suppress the unwillingness in his heart and answer respectfully.

"Well, I know. Aiqing, let's go. If you work hard, don't lose the hope of me."

Queen Wu didn't ask more questions or comment on Yuan Wanqing's behavior. She just said lightly and sent Yuan Wanqing away.

"What does Uncle Eight think of this?"

After Yuan Wanqing retreated, Queen Wu did not rush to open her mouth, but frowned slightly and thought for a moment. Then she turned to Li Zhen, who was smiling and said nothing, and asked in a flat tone.

"The Empress is clear, and the old minister thinks that Yuan Hongyu is indeed a talent."

Li Zhen already had doubts in her heart, but she did not intend to say it immediately, but Wang Gu said that he praised Yuan Wanqing.

"Yuanqing belongs to the donkey. He doesn't want to go, but he wants to go backwards. Let him go and have a chat with the prince. Let's take care of it."

Queen Wu had her own opinion on Yuan Wanqing, and she didn't plan to use it. She didn't care about Li Zhen's nonsense and casually commented.

"The Empress knows that people are good at using them, and no one in the world can reach them. The old minister sighs."

Li Zhen is a famous smiling tiger in the court and flattered Queen Wu. She really didn't blush. She opened her mouth and came tightly.

"The eighth uncle is overreputed. This is of great importance and must be ignored. In the opinion of the eighth uncle, what is Xian'er going to play tricks?"

Empress Wu is not so confused. She will never be dizzy because of Li Zhen's worthless praise. She didn't give Li Zhen a chance to pretend to be confused at all, and she directly points out the problem.

"This..."

Li Zhen was just suspicious, but she was not sure about Li Xian's means of breaking the situation. Being forced to ask by the Empress Wu, she couldn't help but be stuffed.

"If Uncle Eight has anything to say, just say it directly. After all, this is a major event in the court. It's not that anyone can specialize in it."

Wu Houyuan did not intend to let Li Zhen stay out of the matter. This time, she refused to let Li Zhen pretend to be confused. Although her words were polite, the meaning of coercion was clear.

"The Empress has taught me a lesson. The old minister only has some thoughts, but he dares not say whether it is right or not. Just ask the Empress to listen to it. It must not be true." Forced by Queen Wu, Li Zhen knew that she could not stand by and watch on this matter. She could only bow her hand and pleaded guilty. Then she frowned slightly and said, "Empress, in the old minister's opinion, the three mentioned by Yuan Hongyu are far from the three mentioned by the other country. It can be said that it is one south and one north. It is difficult to negotiate. It is possible that if there is no accident, there is definitely a lot of progress in this peace agreement. If His Royal Highness wants to break the situation, I'm afraid there are only two ways to go. One is to drag the peace agreement indefinitely until the storm gradually disappears. As for the other, I'm afraid that it will fall on the word 'accident'.

"Well, do you want to wait for change? There is such a possibility. It is not difficult to solve it. The Ming Japanese Palace will make a decree, and it will be a limited time in the Ming Dynasty. As for this 'accident', where should it go? I don't know what the eighth uncle can teach me?"

Empress Wu was shrewd. Naturally, she could also notice what Li Zhen could think of. The only thing she couldn't determine was that she didn't know where Li Xian's change would come from. At this time, it was rare for Li Zhen to come to the door and planned to pull Li Zhen to prepare for the change, so she asked relentlessly.

"This..."

Although Li Zhen guessed that Li Xian would have a change to break the situation, it was just a kind of intuition. If he really wanted to say why, it was really too difficult for him. In the face of the successive questioning of Queen Wu, Li Zhen was completely blind.

"There are more than 30,000 troops on the other side of Persia. Counting the Persian miscellaneous army, there may be an 80 or 90,000. Can such troops break the big food?"

Li Zhen was completely blind, but Empress Wu vaguely felt that it might be related to the changes in the military situation on the front line, so she meditated and asked.

"It's hard to say, it should be impossible. Otherwise, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness had already made the troops in Hexi kill the Great Food, and he would not stop in Persia. In the opinion of the old minister, it should be more than enough to defend, and the attack was not enough. The Great Food Kingdom must have foreseen this result before he sent an envoy to our Tang Dynasty to negotiate peace. Therefore, the old minister thought that the front-line army I'm afraid it's unlikely to change the situation.

After all, Li Zhen is a person of both literature and martial arts. Although she has never personally led the army to war, she is quite familiar with the military tactics. In the analysis of the war situation, she really has some skills.

"Well, it should be the same depending on the situation. Although the Great Food Country has sent someone to negotiate peace, it will never relax its vigilance. The front line should still be a stalemate, but why do I think that the prince is too calm? There should be something else in it!"

Although Queen Wu is not familiar with military affairs, she still has basic military common sense. Hearing Li Zhen's analysis of the war situation so thoroughly, she is quite agreeable, but she is more confused about Li Xian's possible means.

"..."

Li Zhen's wisdom is not stronger than that of Queen Wu. Queen Wu can't see what's wrong, and he is the same. In the face of Queen Wu's doubts, he can only spread out helplessly. When there was a silence and both sides no longer spoke, the atmosphere in the study was suppressed...
